Vision changes like blurry eyesight can be related to CML. This often happens because CML can cause anemia (low red blood cell counts), which can lead to various symptoms including dizziness and vision changes. When there aren't enough healthy red blood cells carrying oxygen throughout your body, including to your eyes, it can affect your vision. It's important to discuss any vision changes with your healthcare team right away. They can determine if your symptoms are related to CML, anemia, or if there might be other causes that need to be addressed. Regular monitoring of your blood cell counts and symptoms helps ensure you receive appropriate care.

I have CLL and my reading has changed for the worst going from 100 to 200 to read. My distance vision was 20/15 and now 20/20. I could see farther in the recent past but now I am just normal? My vision has become less than it was in the past. I think those bad cells do attack good cells and the result is not good. The eye is a nervous system type organ and it is known the bad cells do affect the nervous system including the brain. I hope you are taking care of your vision and find a way to resolve this problem?
