I am not a physician but I guess there are various degrees of eye bleeds. The Whites of my eyes were completely beet red when I experienced this problem. I was the first my hematologist had seen with this problem, in person. I would call my hematologist if i were you.

Every once in awhile I wake up with my right or left eye in the corner all blood shot. It looks terrible and like I've been in a fight. It does not hurt or itch and usually goes away in a few days. Is this what you are calling eye bleeds?

Going against doc's orders to try sprycel until I am out of cellular remission. I pray that never happens. Thankful for every day. Take these eye bleeds seriously! Discuss these two posts regarding brain bleeds with your doctors. >Blessings, >Susan > > > > > >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] <[email protected]> >To: cmlhope <[email protected]> >Sent: Mon, May 9, 2011 3:41 am >Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Eye Bleeds > > >I was on Gleevac when one day I woke up with bilateral eye bleeds.
