Cataracts

A cataract clouds the lens, and the pattern is read as no longer wishing to see - turning away from what is in front of one, or what might force a decision, wishing things to stay as they are. One tradition reads the clouding more precisely as wanting to rise above life's small, saddening details and treat them as too superficial to look at - and it adds a striking note: the more rigid and certain a person is that their way of seeing the world is the right one, the more fixed the clouding becomes. The short explanation's "severe lack of sobriety" points to that clouded, unwilling clarity. Relief is described as becoming willing to see the present and its small realities clearly again, and holding one's worldview more lightly.

Example from the findings: the clouding lens is read as a wish to rise above life's small sad things, hardened by rigid certainty about one's own way of seeing.
