hi dear
thanks for using HCM
dear as you have mentioned that cornea is whitish ,
it might have been a failed keratoplasty
though repeat keratoplasty have even less chances of success ,chances of acceptance are there
repeat keratoplasty can be undertaken if other parameters like ocular pressure and retina are OK
chances can always be taken
good luck
