Figure Legend:
Rotation of a full-thickness RPE-BM-choriocapillaris graft on a vascular pedicle. The choroidal blood supply of a human
left eye is shown in scanning electron microscopic images of methyl methacrylate microvascular casts ([A], and
enlargement of boxed area [B]). Images courtesy of Jane Olver. (A) Vortex veins are highlighted with red arrows and the
lateral and medial long posterior ciliary arteries (LPCA) with white arrows, which originate either side of the optic nerve
(ON). Choriocapilliaris temporal to the macula is supplied by a recurrent branch of the lateral LPCA (red and white
arrowheads in [B] respectively). This recurrent branch transverses the sclera to enter the suprachoroidal space temporal
to the
macula and
