A few months ago my eyesight was poor. My eye doctor sent me to a specialist. The specialist told me that I had scar tissue on my eyes and cataracts as well as the beginnings of glaucoma.
I’m 73 years old. I mention that because we are trained to believe we must accept physical deterioration when we get older. Many do without a fight. There may be diminished capacity but we must not give up health and strength without a struggle.
Being a Christian person of faith I believe God’s best for us is health and strength. Although at an emotional level, I was tempted just to accept poor and then no eyesight as inevitable, I responded to the positivity of my faith and my doctors. Thank God for positive doctors!
I underwent surgery to remove the scar tissue and cataracts. I am currently taking medication to keep glaucoma at bay. I can see better than I ever have. To me, it is like a miracle.
I’m so glad I did what I could to fight the loss of sight. I’m so glad I had positive and skillful doctors. And above all, I’m glad God blessed me and the doctors as they worked.
If you are a greybeard like me, know this. You shouldn’t immediately settle for the first negative report that comes your way.
