Keratoplasty (corneal transplant); endothelial

AI EXPLANATION: An endothelial corneal transplant is an outpatient eye procedure that replaces only the damaged inner cell layer of the cornea with healthy donor tissue. The cornea acts as the clear protective dome over the eye, and when its inner lining fails to properly pump fluid, vision becomes cloudy. During this specialized keratoplasty, a surgeon removes the diseased inner layer through a tiny incision and positions thin donor tissue in its place to restore corneal clarity and improve sight.
