Iritis healed and vision improved

Mary Walls Kuhl

Just before Christmas four years ago, one eye became painful, then the other. I thought I had strained them, and made an appointment to have my reading prescription changed. Because of the pain, I also called a Christian Science practitioner for treatment. The pain disappeared, but my sight was very poor.

At the optometrist's office, I couldn't read even the largest letter. The eye test was stopped, and a doctor brought in to examine me. He stated that I had iritis and the lenses were fusing together. He recommended treatment, without which he said my situation would be dire.

I signed a waiver and left. It took some courage to declare myself a Christian Scientist to the doctor, as he was so adamant about the need for medical treatment. My husband was an unwavering strength and comfort. I was so grateful for this, because otherwise I would have felt very much alone at that point.
