medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear Meg, I was just about to let you know about this publication when Colmán beat me to it! I have just checked this Dictionary and no fewer than 6 Fachtna's are listed, but the most is know about Fachtna of Ross Carbery (pages 299-301). Eyes are mentioned in the summary there - where miraculously induced breast milk from Mochaomhóg of Leigh's mother was used by St Ide at Killeedy to restore Fachtna's failing eyesight (on pg 300), so I think worth you having a look at this and it should cover all information available from an Irish perspective.
