I wouldn't worry much about cataracts, since they are correctable and lots of people get cataracts even though they haven't had TBI. I don't mean to discount something that worries you, but my wife and I considered the increased incidence to be one of the lesser worries as we headed to transplant. And as it turned out, my wife had 11 TBI treatments and has never developed cataracts.
