Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a severe and potentially sight-threatening complication following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Ocular involvement occurs in up to 60–90% of chronic GVHD cases, often manifesting as severe dry eye disease, conjunctival inflammation, and corneal epithelial defects. We report a case of an 80-year-old patient who developed ocular GVHD following a bone marrow transplant, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and management strategies in elderly patients.
