Healing Metaphors A-Z - Cataracts

Cataracts
A Cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye, which is the part responsible for focusing light and producing clear sharp images. The clouding is caused by old cells, which become trapped within the eye. Cataracts are most commonly the result of aging. If we have cataracts, there is something that we don’t want to see. This can show fear of loss, sex or the ability to be active. Our fear of having to move forward and take the next step has come about from our refusal to deal with certain feelings or issues.
