Subject: RE: BS: seeing rainbows, cataracts?
Cataracts. resulting from the gradual yellowing of the normally clear lens of the eye, can cause floaters but I dunno about rainbows. It is typically addressed by replacing the lens with an artificial one that is clear.

IN glaucoma, the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises, leading to vision loss or even blindness.

Neither one is anything to fool about with.
