Through the study of Christian Science, my family and I have been blessed in innumerable ways. The many physical healings we have experienced include those of colds, influenza, contagious diseases, eyestrain, cuts, headaches, warts, faintness, and toothache.

From my earliest recollections, I had eye soreness from reading. I never wanted to read books when I was in school, and I used to marvel at the children who could sit down and enjoy reading. My parents had my eyes tested and glasses made, but this did not eliminate the soreness. I wore glasses until some time after I started reading the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.

One day I found that I had been reading the textbook for hours with glasses with no difficulty. I took them off and decided not to wear them again, and I have not done so since. Strange as it may seem, when I read other books, my eyes still bothered me for a while. One day I was talking with a fellow church member about this, and she made it clear that it was unnecessary for me to have any trouble at all. I then realized how absurd it was that I could read one book without difficulty and not other-books. The impairment was then completely healed, and I have been able to read without difficulty for years.
