Morphologic Features and Viability Analysis of Human Detached Retinal Pigment Epithelium in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

The RPE sheet developed from the PED region outside the choroidal neovascular membrane lesion had tight intercellular junctions, a simple RPE basement membrane, and active cellular viability. This monolayer RPE sheet may be considered as a substitution for subfoveal RPE loss in eyes with hemorrhagic age-related macular degeneration.
