Is wearing eye glasses to see near or far the only solution for short or far-sightedness?
Do you have to wear eye glasses to read or drive better?
What if there’s another way to heal your eyes and see with more clarity?
Are you open to a new perspective, one that uses the power of visualization and taking action?
“Open your eyes and then open your eyes again”.
~ Terry Pratchett
We have been sold on the belief that as we age, our health gradually deteriorates. Our eyesight is thought to be the first thing that goes and there’s little we can do about it other than to resign ourselves to wearing glasses. There was a time I also believed I had a deficiency with my vision. But was this true? Not necessarily… Years ago, during a stressful period in my life, my eyesight became clouded. At certain times, I would tear up and my sight would weaken.
I was upset but did what we all do in this situation: I purchased a pair of (designer) glasses. These were so-called “distance” glasses, so I wore them only for driving and when it was necessary to see great distances.
Over time, I noticed that the more I wore my glasses, the more dependent I became on them, which deepened my feelings of incapacitation. I wore the glasses for over a year.
A ‘freaky’ situation unfolded before my eyes…
Then, I had an altercation with my friend, Raoul, one of the wisest souls I know. I was preparing to drive Raoul home. I put on my glasses as usual. As I pulled my car out onto the road, Raoul suddenly freaked out.
He began yelling at me and cursing the glasses for what they represented to him. It was as if the glasses were an evil fiend that I needed saving from. Raoul threatened me: “Take off those glasses or I’ll get out of the car,” he said. I was shocked. I didn’t know how to respond so I said nothing.
Fearing that without my glasses, I might miss an exit and be unable to read road signs, I kept my glasses on my face. “If you truly believe you need glasses,”
Raoul continued, “Then you understand nothing about who you are. Now, take off those glasses and choose to know that you see. Do this for thirty days!”
I refused to take the glasses off and guess what? Raoul asked me to stop the car… and then he got out!
However, Raoul’s words made an impact on me. What if he was right?

I decided to give it a try. At first, I wanted to please Raoul but this morphed into a desire to prove to myself that I can do anything I set my mind and heart on. I never liked wearing glasses and wanted to get rid of them to expunge the ‘visual-deficit’ label forever.
I dared and took the leap into the unknown!
That day I made a decision to live “sans glasses” for thirty days. I still drove but only chose routes I knew well. Road signs were a blur but I told myself that I could read them clearly. “Who are you kidding?” I would ask myself from time to time. But I persisted.
The most amazing part of this narrative occurred at the end of the thirty days. To my complete surprise, my eyesight had improved to the point where I no longer needed to wear my glasses. Raoul had been right!
Was this a miracle in the making?
What exactly happened here? The way I understand it is that we hold many erroneous beliefs about ourselves and our apparent reality. What occurred with my eyesight might seem nothing less than miraculous! However, when I began to see that I have the power to choose my beliefs, I realized that this miracle was conceived by the desire to change my situation – coupled with conscious thought and effort.
Ready to experience a new perspecitve…possibly a healing one?
I am not suggesting that other available tools not be utilized. I am only proposing that we also tap into our inner knowingness and explore new perspectives. If your visual acuity is less than perfect and you wear glasses for distance or for reading, you may want to try a similar experiment to mine.
Personal Discernment…
Be discerning about how you choose to engage. Your well-being and safety are a priority. If driving is too risky, try something else. You can watch your favorite movie, or read a book that you have read numerous times.
A thirty-day investment in your Self can transform the way you experience your life. Many worthy initiatives take a lifetime to achieve, but yours can come to fruition in a fraction of that time.
