I have been suffering for some years with my eyes. I have spent an enormous amount of money going to different eye specialists, but the problems always reoccur within days after I have started any treatments.
Due to the nature of my work, I have to use the computer constantly. In fact, without the computer, I cannot carry out my work. Sitting before the computer, my eyes used to burn and hurt me almost daily and sometimes it was very difficult focusing on the words on the computer screen. These difficulties also affected my work to a certain extent. Added to that, bright lights were also a great burden to me. I was squinting all the time, so in order for me to enjoy the outdoors, I had to keep wearing dark glasses.
The problems grew worse and worse. I started to give up faith in the doctors as they all were giving different diagnosis without the problem being solved. One morning when I woke up, I realised I was unable to see properly from my left eye. My vision was blurred and I just could not recognise anything when I covered my right eye and tried looking with my left. This situation would continue through out the day only clearing in the late evening. Well, this really had me alarmed.
The situation deteriorated very quickly. Within a matter of days, the loss of vision in my left eye was almost permanent. I told a few of my friends at my local church, Walthamstow Seventh-Day Adventist Church, what was happening.
I asked one of my friends to carry me to Moorefield’s Eye Hospital in London. He did so. I prayed to God asking Him to help me, for I was really disenchanted with doctors. I waited several hours and eventually was seen to. The doctor basically told me that my eyes were messed up and he did not understand why things were the way they were. One of the problems he said was as if I am actually living in a desert area. I have never lived in such an area in my entire life. He also told me that I had a condition that he could not recognise. They took several swab tests, gave me three different treatments and made another appointment for me to return within a month’s time.
Strangely, that evening when I returned home, I realised that my eyes were not playing up as they normally would especially around such time. I also felt that things would be all right. During a telephone conversation with one of my church friends, he told me that the church had held special prayers on my behalf.
The treatments worked almost instantly. My eyes began to get whiter and whiter as they were naturally, before the problems deteriorated so badly. They were hurting me less and less. I went back for my appointment and for the first time the doctor actually told me that everything was fine. That the conditions were healing in such a way that I had no need to take the range of medication I was taking. Instead, I will take a moisturizer for about one more month and that will be all. He did not even see the need for another appointment. That is how confident the doctor was.
For the first time in years, I was actually able to stand outside in the bright sunshine without it bothering me as it had for so many years before. I have to really thank God for giving the doctors the wisdom and for His direct intervention. I will be resuming my work full time with the computer soon once my department gets written conformation from the doctor.
Thank God for His caring and undying love.
