A photographer’s chronic eye condition was miraculously healed when she least expected it.
A Passion For God’s Creation
Sandy Angel has always taken great pleasure in capturing the remarkable beauty of God’s creation in and around her hometown of Sidney, Montana.
“Look at the pretty bird, flowers, and all the joys there in photography. It’s a moment captured in time. The flower that I had opened that will never happen again. The picture that you take will never be the same again. It’s a memory in time,” she said.
However, in May 2019, everything changed when her eye specialist delivered distressing news. She was diagnosed with wet macular degeneration and was advised to begin immediate treatment. The condition arises from blood vessels leaking into the retina, leading to impaired vision and the potential for blindness if left untreated. The prospect of receiving an injection directly into her eye caused Sandy to panic.
“I just panicked because it’s not normal to have a needle coming into your eye,” she said.
Chronic Eye Condition
However, it wasn’t a one-time procedure. Sandy’s doctor informed her that she would require the injection every two months. Sandy shared that even with the help of pain medication, the shot caused intense pain that persisted until the following day.
“It was the nights that were bad. I mean sometimes I’d be up all night long with tears just running from my eyes from the pain. It was going to be a lifetime thing because nobody gets off the needle. I didn’t ask God for healing. I didn’t pray for it. And I thought I was just the eyes getting old,” she said.

Sandy diligently continued her therapies and maintained her regular viewership of the 700 Club for three years. Then, in April 2022, one of the hosts offered a prayer for healing specifically for the eyes. Sandy firmly believed that the prayer was meant for her, so she claimed it as her own.
Chronic Eye Condition Was Miraculously Healed
A few days later, she had another scheduled painful shot, but this time she was mentally prepared for it. However, she received unexpected news from her doctor that she hadn’t anticipated: “Not only are you reading your eye chart better, but you no longer have wet macular. You don’t need the shots anymore.”
“Nobody gets off the shots, this is a miracle,” Sandy exclaimed.
She added, “I’m thanking God. I feel so blessed because He knew what was going to happen in the long run, He knew I could have gone blind, and I would miss everything that’s out there. Everything that I love, that made me feel pretty special, He was taking care of me. If He can count every hair on your head, and on a little sparrow, even the tiniest little thing that you think is little, God is watching and taking care of you.”
