Jesus Healed My Lazy Eye

When I was seven years old, I began experiencing a condition in my right eye called lazy eye. I was perscribed a patch from my eye doctor in the attempts to correct this condition, but it did not.  So I was forced to wear glasses throughout my childhood.

Throughout grade school, I was bullied and teased for wearing glasses. I was calld four eyes and other things as well.  

I remember thinking to myself that people were so mean and cruel. The world was a mean place to me, and I did not understand why. So, I began to isolate myself from my classmates because I was so afraid of being hurt by their words. I did not want to hurt anymore. The only way I knew how to protect myself was to stay away from those who did not accept me. This experience left a scar in my soul.

Then at age thirteen, I was so excited to learn that I would not have to wear glasses because they would be replaced by contact lenses.  I was so happy to learn of this, and I felt so free for the first time from wearing a frame on my face. I vowed that I would never wear glasses in public again.

In the spring of 1995, I began to develop styes on both of my eyes. I continued to develop these styes from one eye to the next, one after the other over a period of three months. 

I then began to seek God through the body of Christ for prayer for healing of this. The only hope the doctor gave was to utilize hot compresses over the eyes. During this time, I had many people lay hands on me for God's healing.  

One day a brother in Christ spoke to me, "I am going to be praying for you that God will completely heal your eyes." When he said this to me, I was so encouraged by what he said. It was as if he imparted the gift of faith to me. Upon this, I began to stand with him in the prayer of agreement that God would totally and completely heal my eyes. This healing was a process. Every day, I would thank Jesus for healing my eyes. 

During this time of waiting on God, I was forced to wear glasses again because the contact lenses caused irritation which contributed to the recurrence of the styes. I needed to refrain from wearing them, but it was difficult as I had vowed that I would never wear glasses in public again. I was adamant about this. However, I was left with no choice.

Every day at work, I would thank Jesus for healing my eyes, styes, and lazy eye. I would attempt to meet Jesus halfway and step out in faith by removing my glasses and attempting to get on with work without them. As I did this, each day I could go longer and longer without having to wear my glasses. At first, I would wear glasses for an hour, then take them off for an hour. I repeated this process over and over again. Then I went to two hours, four hours, eight hours, all the way to a full day, weeks, months, and years!

On September 7, 2010, Dr. Curt Nguyen stated there was no lazy eye. 

On July 12, 2014, Dr. Andrea Melendez stated that adulthood lazy eye does not correct on its own without medical intervention such as eye exercises or surgery. Melendez explained that I am “able to exert enough muscle control that the eyes appear aligned.” 

Now another amazing thing is that the styes that were developing on my eyes have gone away completely, and have never reoccured.

"Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 18:19).
