Mark:
I'm unaware of Ithamar being particularly efficacious in matters relating
to the eyes. The *Bibliotheca Sanctorum* doesn't mention anything about
the matter; and, in the list of patrons of those suffering from eye
ailments, Ithamar's/Eadmer's name doesn't appear.
Perhaps some material can be found in a twelfth-century miracle collection
dealing with him; cf. T.D. Hardy, *Catalogue of Materials for British
History*, vol. I, London, 1862, pp. 251-252. The list in *Acta Sanctorum*
Iunii, II (Venice ed., 1742, pp. 294-295) is a copy from that in J.
Capgrave, *Nova Legenda Angliae*.
I bet someone out there knows about this, but maybe s/he's getting an eye
exam just now, and can't read this. :-)
