Keratoplasty (corneal transplant); penetrating, in pseudophakia

AI EXPLANATION: A corneal transplant, medically known as a penetrating keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces diseased or damaged tissue at the front of the eye with healthy donor cornea tissue. During this full-thickness procedure, a surgeon removes the cloudy central section of the cornea and stitches clear donor tissue into place. This specific surgery is performed on an eye that already has an artificial replacement lens, typically implanted during earlier cataract treatment, to help improve vision and preserve eye structure.
