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.  This went on for approximately four years.

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, and the only way I knew how to protect myself was to stay away from those that did not accept. 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 anymore 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 form wearing a frame on my face.  I vowed that I would never wear glasses again.

In the spring of 1995, I began to develop eye styes. I continuted to develop these styes from one eye to the next, one after the other. This persisted for three months. 

I then began to seek God through the body of Christ by prayer for healing of my styes.  The only hope my doctor gave was to place hot compresses. 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 irritated my eyes.  This was contributing to the recurrence of the styes. I needed to refrain from wearing my contact lenses, but it was difficult because I had vowed that I would never wear glasses in public again. I was adamant about this. However, I was left with no choice but to wear glasses again.

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 any glassed. At first, I would wear them for an hour, then take them off for an hour, and repeat this process. Then I went to two hours, then four hours, then eight hours, all the way to a full day, many weeks, many months, and years!

In closing, 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 there has not been any reoccurance of eye styes!  

In Closing:

"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).
