For some time I have desired to express my gratitude for a healing of impaired vision. One day while I was reading, my sight suddenly became dim. At about the same time my husband came in. He decided that I needed help and drove me to an optometrist's office.

When my eyes were examined I was told that a change of glasses would not help, and it was recommended that I visit an oculist. However, when I returned home I decided to rely on Christian Science treatment alone. I did a great deal of studying myself, and the assistance of a practitioner whom I had asked for treatment was very helpful. She urged that I denounce the suggestions of mortal mind by declaring mortal mind itself to be unreal. She asked me to declare that mortal mind has nothing to do with man, for man, God's image and likeness, is spiritual and expresses the one divine Mind, God, who knows only what is good and true.

I steadfastly held to the truth that man is God's perfect reflection, and because he is, he reflects perfect vision and cannot be deprived of it. The practitioner and I continued to pray in this way, and my sight was soon restored to its normal clarity.
