I had bleeding in the eye once, scared the bejeezus out of me.

Oh yeah, eye symptoms can definitely be a thing with leukemia. I have weird red spots in my eyes, kinda like I'd stared at a camera flash for too long. it's petechiae from the blood issues related to leukemia. It wasn't painful, just weird.

I actually had a bit of swelling around my eyes. Looked like I'd gone a few rounds in a boxing ring. My doctor mentioned it could be due to fluid retention, a lovely side effect of some of the meds.

I experienced what they call 'floaters' in my vision. It was like these tiny shadows dancing around. Freaked me out, but my healthcare team wasn't too worried. Said it's something that can happen.

@Lyudi189 Did your healthcare team explain this can happen even without leukemia? or that it was definitely related?
