Özet

We evaluated the efficacy and safety of topical cyclosporine-A in dry eye associated with chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) in 8 patients. Visual acuity, fluorescein staining of cornea and conjunctiva, tear break-up time, Schirmer test results and subjective complaints were recorded. Topical cyclosporine-A might be an effective and safe treatment option in dry eye related to chronic GVHD.
