When i was on Gleevec I had eye bleed a few times, it comes and stay for a
few days.
When I change my medicin to Sprycel it´s stoped. My doctor sent me to an
eye specialist the
first time, and he told me that eye bleed was releted to Gleevec. It´s look
horrible sometimes but
it diden´t harm me.
I was on Gleevac when one day I woke up with bilateral eye bleeds. I was
immediately removed from the Gleevac. If Gleevac can make your eyes bleed
it's
potentially possible for it to make your brain bleeed - and to cause a
stroke.
I've not been on any medication for CML for over 1.5
Give it about 3 to 5 days and it will go away. I get them once in a
while.

Your blood vessels are very close to the skin in your eye, you may have
wiped your eye to hard with a towel after taking a shower or rubbed it hard
for some reason. It doesn't take much.

I was on gleevec and had numerous eye bleeds until I actually did have a brain
bleed. This is nothing to sneeze at. I was then removed from gleevec and have
been off it for 4 years. One year ago I had another stroke much worse, and am
thankful to be here. Going against doc's orders to try
Okay, I have a silly question. 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?
Thanks

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.
April 19th was the 12th anniversary of the day I entered the STI 571 trial at
UCLA, and over the 12 years I've been on treatment with Gleevec, I've had
scores of eye bleeds. Sometimes they come in clusters where I'll have several
right in a row, and sometimes I go for many months without one.
