Glasses not Needed

Previous to 1899 my eyes had been troubling me for several years, and for nearly two years had been in quite a bad condition. They pained me a great deal if I used them at night or read very much. I went to an oculist who was considered very good, and he told me I would have to put on glasses and wear them the rest of my life for any special work. The trouble was far-sightedness. I put the glasses on and wore them about four months. They were a great deal of annoyance to me, and I did not like the idea of always having to wear them, but supposed it was necessary. After wearing them for four months, I became interested in Christian Science. I had attended several of the services. I thought I was very much opposed to it, that I simply went with a friend who wanted to attend but did not like to go alone. Finally I made up my mind I would go because I wanted to understand something more of Science, and after making that decision, I went home and laid my glasses off and said that I was not going to wear them any more. I have never put them on since, except a day or two afterward, when I had some very close work to do and the day was dark. I have had scarcely any trouble with my eyes; just at first I felt a little of the old sensation. Now I can use my eyes for hours and do anything I please. I am very thankful that I was enabled to put the glasses away.
