Re: Vision Problems----- could be pressure

[Guest guest]

Hi

I use drops to reduce eye pressure

If you have not had an eye examination recently ,  it may be something you

should  consider

Open-angle glaucoma, the most common form, initially has no symptoms.

The pressure in the eye builds up gradually. At some point, the optic

nerve is damaged and side vision (peripheral vision) is lost. Without

treatment, total blindness will occur. Similarly, people with

normal-tension glaucoma will not experience any symptoms until they

begin to lose peripheral vision.

Good luck

I went to the Dr again today for my check up and my wbc has

gone back up and is now higher than it has ever been. It is 104,000. I have also

been having some problems with my vision in my left eye but the Dr doesn't seem

to think it has anything to do with the CML or Gleevec. I know that Gleevec can

cause some vision problems but since it is only when I first wake up and only

last for about 30 minutes, he isn't concerned. When I first wake up I can only

see straight in front of me. It's like tunnel vision. Has anyone else had this

problem taking Gleevec or is it just my vision and not related to the CML. I am

not sure I trust this Dr, he just seems that he is really not concerned.

Blessings,
