Improved Vision

I have to share something with you that I’ve slowly become aware of the past few months. Situation: I have had low vision diagnosis for a long time. I was told that by the time I was in my late 50s, I would be legally blind. The last eyeglass prescription I had filled only improved my eyesight to 20/50. I was on the edge of being able to drive.

Then entered Amare.

In my classes, I teach about the gut/brain connection ALL THE TIME. It’s why Stacy Cooper’s sign at the MENS Fair caught my attention. I told her ‘I teach this stuff.’

Anyway, long story short, BECAUSE IT ALL BEGINS IN THE GUT, my vision has improved. I was in trifocals by late 30s. Bifocals by 25. In fact, this vision test at 25 said my vision was as a 60 year old. LOL.

Lately, I’ve been noticing that I needed to remove my glasses to see clearly. Yep, to see clearly. Yesterday I started wondering if I could get by with only reading glasses. Today, I tested it.

YES!!!! I can ditch my trifocals and use only reading glasses. And I fully expect my vision to continue to improve. (I’ve been in glasses since age 6.) But about 2 weeks ago, I had my glasses off so I could see clearly <G> and looked down at a book. I was able to read every word crystal clear!!! Then it was gone.

But that’s why I believe it will continue to improve.

For someone who was on the verge of being diagnosed legally blind, I cannot tell you what this means to me. I’ve also regained my ability to see colors. And my taste has been slowly improving also. (Lost due to Lyme disease.)

I will never stop praising God for coming across Stacy Cooper that day and learning about Amare.
