Exegesis
The aorist indicative aneblepsen {ἀνέβλεψεν | a-né-blep-sen} ‘he regained sight’ portrays the recovery as a completed event, while the imperfect ekolouthei {ἠκολούθει | ē-ko-loú-thei} ‘he was following’ indicates ongoing action toward Jesus.
In context — Luke 18:43
And immediately he regained his sight and was following Him , glorifying God . And all the people, upon seeing it, gave praise to God.
