VISION DIFFICULTY HEALED
For several years I would sporadically experience a blurring of vision. Most often the vision would clear up after 15 minutes, but then I would be beset with a headache for sometimes two hours following, which would only be relieved by vomiting.
Each time, I would pray to have a more spiritual sense of vision. Through Christian Science I had experienced so many breakthroughs after praying and listening to God that I was convinced it would bring about a cure in this instance also. Furthermore, I felt that my prayer was a chance to understand my relationship to God more clearly, not merely to heal a vision problem.
At one point my husband, who is not a Christian Scientist, asked me to see a doctor. Wanting to calm his concerns, I complied. The doctor said that I should avoid certain foods. I also went to an eye doctor, who gave me a prescription for glasses, suggesting that this might alleviate the problem. But I never got the glasses, nor did I change my eating habits. Instead, I returned from these appointments with a renewed commitment to curing the condition spiritually.
