Definition 1 - An eye problem where the lens gets opaque. It usually happens with age, and there is no real prevention. The only option is to undergo an operation to replace the lens.
Definition 2 - In Latin, cataracts are waterfalls. The link back to the eye problem is suspected to be the association to the opaqueness of the lens to the part of the waterfall where water mixes with air to create that white, foamy, vertical flow of a waterfall.
My mother needs a cataract op. I followed her to the SNEC in the middle of the week to get checked out. She hates the dilating fluid and has no patience for her number to show up on the display board. In the end, we've scheduled one eye to go under the knife in June.
