	==Definition==		==Definition==
	The Khodadoust Line is defined as a line of [[leukocytes]] (white blood cells) that migrate towards a corneal graft in the event of a rejection response. This line is usually visible in the corneal endothelium, the innermost layer of the cornea. The presence of the Khodadoust Line is a significant indicator of graft rejection in corneal transplantation.

	The presence of the Khodadoust Line is a clear sign of graft rejection following corneal transplantation.
