Did Paul have an eye problem?
The context suggests Paul had an eye problem, based on Galatians 4:15 where the Galatians would have given their healthy eyes to replace his sickly ones. This indicates a bond of affection despite his physical inadequacies, and the speaker believes this points to an eye issue.
Les explains that the Galatians had such a bond of affection for Paul that they would have given their healthy eyes to replace his sickly ones, which leads Les to believe Paul had an eye problem. Les notes Paul had physical inadequacies, and the pagan Galatians loved him despite them. This same transforming power of the Gospel is seen in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, where Paul's converts turned from idols to the living God.
Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
