摘要：

There are 18 million persons blind from cataracts in Third-World countries and the number is doubling every 20 to 25 years. It is impossible to cure this many blind with present sophisticated surgical techniques. Enzymatic dislocation of the cataractous lens could be performed by nonmedical personnel and the patients given inexpensive mass-produced spectacles, which could solve this tremendous problem.
