This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial compares two different types of corneal transplant surgery for people who developed corneal swelling (bullous pseudophakic keratopathy) after cataract surgery. You would be randomly assigned to receive either a partial corneal transplant that replaces only the damaged inner layers of the cornea, or a full-thickness corneal transplant that replaces the entire cornea. Researchers want to see which approach gives better vision recovery over two years.
About 1–2% of cataract surgeries lead to corneal swelling that causes vision loss and pain. Doctors aren't sure which transplant surgery works best for patients with intermediate vision loss, so this trial will provide clear evidence to guide treatment decisions and help more people see better.

You would have corneal transplant surgery under general anesthesia, randomly assigned to receive either a partial or full-thickness graft. After surgery, you would attend regular follow-up visits with your doctor to monitor healing and measure your vision over two years. The study team will track your visual recovery, eye comfort, and overall outcomes to compare how well each surgical approach works.
