| tectonic keratoplasty | Grafting to replace lost corneal tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| total keratoplasty | Corneal transplant in which the entire cornea is removed and replaced. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epikeratophakic keratoplasty | A procedure that modifies the refractive error of the lens by the transplantation of a donor cornea to the anterior surface of the patient's cornea. The basic indication for epikeratophakia is the incapability of correcting refractive errors with conservative methods, such as glasses, contact lenses, or intraocular lenses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| keratophakic keratoplasty | Implantation of a donor cornea or plastic lens within the corneal stroma to modify refractive error. Synonym: keratophakic keratoplasty. Origin: kerato-+ G. Phakos, lens (05 Mar 2000) |
| keratoplasty | A surgical procedure to replace a damaged cornea with a healthy one from a donor's eye. Unlike transplantation of most other organs, the cornea tends to have a problem with transplant rejection. Corneal transplants are indicated in cases of severe corneal injury or corneal infection (corneal ulcer) which has left the cornea scarred. (27 Sep 1997) |
| keratoplasty, penetrating | Partial or total replacement of all layers of a central portion of the cornea. (12 Dec 1998) |
