Long-term Outcomes of Cataract Surgery in Patients With Chronic Ocular Graft-Versus-Host Disease

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of cataract surgery in patients with chronic ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Methods: A retrospective review was performed on 77 eyes of 42 patients with chronic ocular GVHD that underwent cataract surgery between January 2014 and February 2020 in a tertiary institution. Results: Posterior subcapsular cataract was seen in 53 (68.8%) of 77 eyes, with a mean preoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) of 0.61 ± 0.49 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). Postoperatively, with a mean follow-up of 21 months, CDVA improved to 0.17 ± 0.22 logMAR at the latest visit (P
