Two years before I began the study of Christian Science I had a great deal of trouble with my eyes. A film seemed to form over them, and I was able to read for only a few moments at a time. I was under the constant care of an oculist for a year, and at the end of that time he himself acknowledged that the treatments had been of no avail.
There were many other discordant conditions to be overcome, principally that of nervous intestinal indigestion, from which I had suffered for twelve years. During that time I was under the care of physicians of both schools, had two surgical operations, lived for seven months in a hygienic home, and was six months under an osteopath; but receiving no appreciable benefit, I turned to Christian Science as a last resort. My healing was not a quick one, for I had much to unsee; but through the faithful work of a practitioner the old troubles faded away, except the obscured vision, which was then not fully met, although I was able to read much more comfortably.
Four years ago last January, the condition of my eyes became very acute. There was constant moisture in the eyes, which required frequent bathing. I could read but little in the daytime, and not at all at night. I took up the work myself during that month, but with no benefit. I was under the care of a practitioner for the next two months, and while I had an occasional bright day, there was no real healing. I then decided that the problem was mine, and must be solved through my own improved thought.
