AB  - Thirty-four patients who had undergone bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were 
      examined; 83.3% of those who received single shot and none of those who received 
      fractionated total body irradiation (TBI) developed cataracts. The use of 
      steroids to treat chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) produced more severe 
      cataracts in those who had allogeneic transplants after single shot TBI, but 
      follow-up has not been long enough to assess their effect following fractionated 
      TBI. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) was seen in 81.8% of patients with chronic 
      GVHD and in 33.3% of patients after autologous BMT.
