* It does not spread from one eye to other eye.
* It does not cause irreversible blindness.
* Cataract does not develop by use of computer.
* There are no medications, no eye drops, no exercises, or no glasses that will cause a cataract to disappear.
* Cataracts do not need to be “ripe” before they can be removed.
* Surgery is the only remedy to remove a cataract.
* At present, laser is not used to remove a cataract.
