Jesus is actually using the healing of this man as an illustration. Of course Jesus could of just healed this man's eyes completely in one moment, but he doesn't. Because he doesn't their has to be a reason. The reason is because it perfectly illustrates what is going on his disciples spiritual lives.
His disciples have been given sight by faith to see certain things. They follow Jesus around and apparently believe but in so many ways they are still blind. They rarely understand what it is that they see Jesus do. Jesus is showing them that they partially see and that one day they will fully see through a miracle of God.
For us to truly understand God takes action on his part. We need to ask him for understanding.
