ABSTRACT
Bone Marrow transplantation has been increasingly used for the treatments of various blood cancers for last two decades. As a complication, a variable number of patients develop Chronic Graft Verses Host Disease [cGVHD] six to eight months later. Ocular involvement occurs in 60 to 80% of patients with cGVHD. Though dry eye sensation is the most common ocular symptom of cGVHD we report here a case of excessive watering due to bilateral lacrimal bicanalicular obstruction secondary to ocular involvement in cGVHD along with onset of dry eye features
