Explain in brief the following article:

Three corneal transplants have been performed in the last 48 hours at Gravina Hospital in Caltagirone. The ophthalmic team, led by Salvatore Sileci, performed: an anterior lamellar corneal transplant on a 49-year-old with keratoconus and a 74-year-old with endothelial decompensation, and a total transplant on a 46-year-old foreigner who had suffered a severe corneal injury. The three patients, all residents of the Calatino area, regained their sight within a few hours after the surgeries.
