Why were cataracts both helpful and harmful to Egypt?
A cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye which leads to a decrease in vision. It is the most common cause of blindness and is conventionally treated with surgery.It is most commonly due to biological aging but there are a wide variety of other causes. Over time, yellow-brown pigment is deposited within the lens and this, together with disruption of the normal architecture of the lens fibers, leads to reduced transmission of light, which in turn leads to visual problems.Sure cataracts are harmful to those with cataracts as they experience difficulty in appreciating colors and changes in contrast, driving, reading, recognizing faces, and coping with glare from bright lights. However, I don't understand how cataracts could be helpful to Egypt unless it is helpful only to the physicians and surgeons who treat the cataracts.
