Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Yes, I had a similar side effect with one eye bleed. I used artificial tears drop to calm it down. It last two weeks and start to be normal now. I believe that this is gleevec side effect because my eye doctor said there was nothing wrong with my eye.

It was itching and I think I rubbed it to hard. It's turned red and yellow and quite painfull. This is the second time in 2 months that I've had the problem. I made a appointment with my eye doctor for this afternoon, will see what he can come up with. Has anyone else have the same problem? Otherwise all is well. Moving from Crown Point, IN. to Venice, Fl. in a few months, I CAN NOT TAKE ANY MORE COLD WEATHER. You all take care. Dave Greenberg Crown Point,IN.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Hi Dave, I have had the same itching, watering some pain in my eyes. Mostly my left eye. I found some drops named Similasan. I found them at Alberson's pharmacy. They along with artifical tears have helped me tremendously. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I have also had a great deal of pain in my left eye, of late. I, too, had it checked and it seems to be from the gleevec, as it dries things out, gums, tears, etc. I use fake tears and that helps. He mentioned the possibility of tear plugs if it gets unmanageable. chris in minn Re: [ ] Pain in my Left Eye Yes, I had a similar side effect with one eye bleed.
