Eye Vision

Question

Rabbi, What is the story with eye vision. Do we find this problem anywhere in the Torah. Today we have glasses and contacts, but what did they do. Is there there any explanation to not having 20 20 vision as to why G-d will do this to certain people?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

Yischak our ancestor became blind. Many others in history became blind. I'm sure that it was common to have deteriorating vision by many people. Everything is done for a reason. When we get upstairs, we can ask why for each person. Until then, each of us with any problems must look into our actions for things we do incorrectly, and go and correct them. AA
