Ugly arrow heads after MATLAB export

In the figure window my arrows look beautiful (see top panel of attached image), but when I export to EPS the arrows become horrendously ugly (see bottom panel of image). How do I fix this?
I used to use the ARROW.m package from the FEX, but it was very bug-infested (I'd run a figure-generating script once, and the arrow would look beautiful, then I'd run it again with no changes made and it would come out extremely small and ugly). Also I've read that it doesn't work well in 2014b, which is the only version I have available.

So "then I'd run it again with no changes made and it would come out extremely small and ugly" concerns the export. It is strange, that the results of the epxort are such different, when the exact same procedure is applied before. Could you provide a piece of code which reproduces the problem?

There are dozens of other submissions for drawing arrows. Did you try them?

I also had a problem with arrowhead distortions in eps figure converted from matlab. I just tried arrows.m code from here http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/37371-arrows--generalized-2-d-arrows-plot and it helped with the issue, at least in my situation. But I haven't tested it a lot, though.

@Nike: I hesitate to delete the "answer", because the discussion in the comments is useful. But I'm going to push the question from time to time.
I cannot check the different FEX submissions for you, because I do not have your Matlab version 2014b. Having some example code to reproduce the problem would be a benefit also.
