Thank you, Virginia: I, too, have had the eye bleeds pop up at times and then go for long periods with out. The last time was about a year ago and my dr. (Onc./ Hem.) wanted me to see my eye doctor as this one was very bad. The eye doctor did not seem too concerned after I showed him the list of side effects with this potential eye problem circled....he put it in my record. :) Once that one cleared up, I was sitting in the recliner watching t.v. one afternoon and felt something like you mentioned (pin prick) in the eye, got up and went and looked in the bathroom mirror, & it was there again and really bad. I got to where I wear some light gray shades when I go out to church or stores so I don't scare everybody......I was scheduled to see my dr. for blood work and tests the next week and she got to see what it looked like up close and personal. Told me that if it did not clear up in a few days, to call and she would schedule me with an ophthalmologist as there may be some small blood vessels that need cauterized. It went away just like all the rest of the times........my husband and son both have this to happen sometimes & my eye doctor told me that normally it is caused by stress, heavy lifting, or high blood pressure. None of those related to me (smile).
