Hi there, This is probably a stupid question but has anyone heard of any connection with Glaucoma and CLL?

I suppose having CLL and it being a cancer of the immune system I wonder whether every little crack is connected!

Yes there is a diagnosis called leukemic glaucoma, but it is very rare...

Thank you for the prompt reply. I would assume that I would have the more 'regular' form if the diagnosis is correct.

Does your ophthalmologist know you have CLL, so he can rule it out?

[Rileyesq in reply to Cllcanada]

I will remind them when I go back in 3 months for another check.

I was diagnosed with CLL a few months ago. Also this year, my eye doc said the pressure in my eye was higher than normal and will need to be followed. He said it could be a precursor to glaucoma. I'll have to look into this further.

I just posted this yesterday, quite a bit on occular involvement with CLL, but it is rare...
