Thanks Mike, glad to hear from you again. This problem with the burred vision has been going on for years. Some days are worse then others. But it didn't start until I started taking Gleevec. I just need to buy to different pairs of glasses. Greenie

Hi, I have some problems with vision blurring off and on. I do know that I now need bi-focals -- that is a normal part of aging in my case, the blurring, however, has always struck me as a side-effect because of its fleeting, cyclical nature. chris in minn - Original Message -

For anyone who is having blurred vision from water retention, I doubt if it from the Gleevec only. There are little cones directly under the top layer of cornea whose sole purpose on this earth is to keep out excess water from accumulating under the cornea. You can retain water everywhere
