Plastic Eyeballs

William Branham's Voice of Healing publication claimed that a boy "healed" in one of the revivals could see through his plastic eyeball. According to the article, Ronnie Coyne could see through both eyes, even though one of them had been completely replaced with a prosthetic.[1]  Apparently, Ronnie's eye had been gouged with a wire and completely removed. In a "healing revival" meeting with the family of T. L. Osborn (an editor for the Voice of Healing publication), Ronnie was "healed" and started to see through his plastic eye.

Voice of Healing was able to find a doctor who claimed to "confirm" the boy's eyesight through both the plastic eyeball and an empty socket:

M.D. CONFIRMS MIRACLE
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
RONALD R. COYNE, of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, was examined by me and I tested his sight both with the plastic eye in and also with it removed. He can see either way and is able to read each way.  He can read anything other children of his age can read.  His sight is normal for his age.  Truly this is a miracle of GOD.  There is no other answer.

In later years, Ronnie himself became a "faith healer" and continued his claim to see through his plastic eye. When asked to validate this claim with an all-expense-paid trip to a professional ophthalmologist, however, Ronnie refused to be tested. According to Wayne Jackson, Mr. Coyne declined the offer and threatened to sue for damages.[3]
