在解讀中凱西認為：白內障的主要致病因，是由於循環和排除系統受損，導致的代謝廢物在感官系統的過多堆積。其他一些不經常被提到的因素包括：脊髓的受傷和錯位，消化機能的紊亂，不適當的飲食，精神狀態，機械外傷和自身的體質狀況。只有一，兩個案例，沒特別的給出原因。對於大部分案例來說，循環和排泄系統能力的缺乏，是導致白內障疾病發生的決定性因素。
在案例2193-1的解讀中，凱西指出，由於基本食物攝入缺乏而引發的貧血會令循環系統受到削弱，使排除系統受損，進而導致眼部白內障的形成。對於白內障起初的相關症狀，個體會變得精神緊張，這會進一步導致神經系統的過度消耗。
在解讀3598-1中，提及另一種變化的致病機理。在此案例中，致病原因是：個體腺體（機體）內呈現過度酸性的環境影響到十二指腸的正常機能，進而導致消化系統內部的紊亂。這種紊亂的狀態反過來又給影響下腹部、肺和胃部神經中心，位於胸椎（背部）第5、6節處帶來壓力。對於此案例，發現致病因是消化和排除能力的不足。
不正確的生活態度會引發生理上的問題，包括白內障。在解讀3335-1中，由於患者的錯誤態度導致了消化和排除系統的紊亂，進而產生了包括白內障在內的其他問題。在解讀5451-2中，由於患者消極的態度，以及通過粗劣的飲食習慣反映出對機體的毫不關心，這些都會使得疾病惡化。
總的來說，對於絕大多數凱西曾解讀過的白內障患者來說，導致疾病發生的決定性因素都是源於循環和排除系統的紊亂。只有在少數案例中，情緒的影響因素才被解讀到會導致這一非正常的生理狀況——白內障的發生。
2. 治療的基本原理
以下是治療方法的2個基本輪廓：
1. 生理原因，在常見的潛在致病因是，循環和排除系統的紊亂；其他還包括脊椎受傷，消化系統的紊亂等等。將已經看到的作為主要的潛在問題，依此來採取合適的治療方法。
2. 非生理上的原因，包括情緒和態度。生理上的症狀常常將非生理的因素掩蓋，因此，後者往往很容易會被個體忽略。在這樣的案例中，如果採取只致力於解決生理原因的方法時，那麼獲得的治療效果是有限的。以下的案例會有助於解釋這一觀點：
凱西：因此為了使現有情況得到緩解，我們應該針對感覺系統，籍由心智的力量，或者說心智的表達，來控制循環系統，去改善排除系統。明白嗎？
患者：明白，先生。
凱西：在機械力量的協助下，同時集中心理和精神對機體發揮的影響來解決當前的情形。沿著那些位於腦脊髓神經中心、控制交感神經或心靈的神經叢、以及他們之間連接部分、還有感覺器官，這些位置的神經中心進行輕度調整按摩，然後我們這樣引導，就好像這些組織和器官內都充滿著能量，藉由生理上態度的改變而將我們不希望出現的的狀態從身體上移除。我們發現這些中心位於這段區域內——頸椎的第2節至胸椎的第3,4節。明白嗎？(3943-1)
上文指出的是，我們應該致力於保持靈性，心理和生理上的良好狀態——因為它們都是同樣重要的。如果物質的身體不能很好地利用這些可引導的靈性和心理力量，單一地只通過物理治療，收到的療效是有限的。上文章還點出：更高級的影響力量是可以通過神經系統來加以引導的。
在解讀5451-2中，遇到另一個案例。該患者正在接受來自其他途徑的治療方案，而且對現狀比較滿意。在此案例中，凱西表示：只要患者認可一種治療手段，那麼其他的方法都是不宜再向患者推薦的，因為它們都不會有效果。
…如果個體的想法是不希望改變，那最好就不要改變了——因為物質身體仍然認為現在進行的事情是合適的，所以不要去改變它！讓它順其自然！因為它自己會主動去學習。（解讀5451-2）
3. 推薦的治療性方案
以下是對一些規定的常見治療手段的總結。使用這些方法的目的在於改善血液循環和排除能力，使的物質身體和精神力量相互協調，調和身體，心里和精神三者的關係：
1. 整骨療法。對頸椎上部（頸椎第1,2,3節）和背部脊椎部分（胸椎第1,2,3節）進行校正；有時，也可以在背部脊椎下方進行校正，以使其和上部淋巴相互協調。操作的頻率：每週進行2次，連續操作5-6週後，休息2-3週。這是在凱西指明的治療方法中最通常使用的。
2. 按摩。用花生油進行按摩（有時也可以是多種油的混合）。使用頻率是不固定的。儘管在一個案例中，凱西建議個體在睡前每天都進行按摩。但是，每週進行2次按摩還是合適的。要特別加強在脊椎，乳突，太陽穴和下巴這些區域的按摩。
3．紫光儀治療。有時在第一次整骨治療的一系列操作結束後，凱西建議個體進行紫外線照射治療。持續在脊椎，頭部和脖子的區域照射3分鐘，然後將敷布放置眼睛上，再持續照射1.5分鐘，每周大概進行3次。（參加凱西中國博客文章：紫光儀）
也可以在紫外線照射前，將一個甜味白芬劑或Epsom鹽的敷袋放置眼部區域，持續20—30分鐘。
在治療過程中，可能會有分泌物流出。這時應該採取一種無刺激性，有殺菌性的方式將其清除。
土豆泥敷藥也可以在紫外線照射之後使用。清洗掉眼中那些被土豆敷藥拔出的那些炎症。
4.加強廢物的排除。最後，如果有必要的話，個體可以每天使用1-2次天然的瀉藥：例如Eno鹽，Fletcher's Castoria，bicarbonate of soda with cracker crumbs，在洗腸時加入。
5.飲食。一個健康的飲食應該富含各種水果和蔬菜。海鮮是可以吃的，但不要同時食用肉類和醣類。生的胡蘿蔔，生菜，芹菜，水田芥和其他類似的食物對機體來說都是有益處的。
6.震動療法。一種促進血液循環的方法是：首先，用冷水摩擦身體使身體打寒顫，以達到治療目的，然後使用高頻振動治療法（解讀3943-1）。使用頻率和持續時間沒有被明確規定。建議個體每週進行2次，每次持續時間20-30分鐘。
7.靈性方面的諮詢實踐，祈禱和冥想。這些是可以使用的方式來使得身、心、靈——三者溶為一體，實現更好地整合。

OVERVIEW OF CATARACTS
I. Physiological Considerations
The major cause of cataracts, as seen in the Cayce readings, is impaired circulation and eliminations leading to accumulations in the sensory system. Other causes less frequently cited include: spinal lesions and subluxations, digestive disturbances, dietary insufficiency, mental attitudes, mechanical injury, and constitutional condition. In one or two instances, no specific cause was given. Even in most of these instances poor circulation and elimination were the final mechanisms that allowed cataracts to form.
For instance, in reading 2193-1 elemental dietary deficiency resulted in anemia, which in turn led to altered circulation and impaired elimination resulting in the formation of cataract deposits in the eyes. The mental strain produced by associated symptoms further led to depletion of the nervous system.
Another variation is seen in reading 3598-1. In this case the cause was digestive disturbance as a result of overactivity of the glandular forces (system) affecting the duodenum. This in turn was caused by pressure on the spine at the level of the fifth, sixth thoracic (dorsal) spinal segment, which affected the hypogastric and pneumogastric centers. The finding results were poor assimilations and eliminations.
Improper attitudes can work to bring about physical problems, including cataracts. In reading 3335-1, this was associated with disturbances in assimilation and elimination, resulting in other problems including cataracts. In reading 5451-2 the patient's poor attitude included improper care for his body as reflected in poor dietary habits, which contributed to developing this illness.
In summary, it can be stated that in the great majority of people for whom Cayce gave readings on cataracts, disturbances in circulation and elimination were the final mechanisms through which the disease came about. In a few instances the basis of the problem was of a nonphysical nature which set into motion forces that brought about a physical condition.
II. Rationale of Therapy
This may be approached under two broad outlines:
Physical causes, the most common underlying problem being circulation/elimination disturbances; others include spinal lesions, digestive disturbances, etc. Appropriate therapy is selected on the basis of what is seen as the major underlying problem.
Non-physical causes such as attitudes and emotions. Physical problems nearly always overshadow the non-physical and thus the latter may be easily overlooked. In such instances only partial results are obtained when therapy is directed solely to physical causes. The following illustrations will serve to emphasize this point:
Mr. Cayce: So to relieve this condition we would, with the action of mental force, or expression, over the sensory system so control the circulation as to cause the proper elimination, or eliminating channels to be directed to the specific cause. See?
Mr. [3943]: Yes, sir.
Mr. Cayce: And with the assistance of mechanical forces so adjust all of the system as to make the direct action of both mental and spiritual being centered in the condition to be removed. That is by gentle manipulation along the centers that govern the nerves from the cerebrospinal nerve center itself, and the plexus governing the sympathetic or soul forces and their conjunction points with the sensory organism, and we would then direct as it were the energies of the mind and soul forces with the physical attributes in the body to this condition that we wish to remove from this body. Those centers we will find at the cervical region from the 2nd cervical to the 3rd and 4th dorsal. See? (3943-1)
What this passage is pointing out is that we must work on all levels-spiritual, mental and physical - for one is just as important as the others. If the physical body is unable to make use of the channeled spiritual and mental forces, little good is done by using physical applications exclusively. This passage also indicates that the higher forces are channeled through the nervous system.
Another example is to be found in reading 5451-2. This patient was already receiving treatments from other sources and was satisfied with what was being done. Cayce indicated in this instance that as long as he (the patient) felt this way, other treatments would not be advised, for they would be ineffective.
... if the body's mind is not to be changed, then wouldn't be best to change the body-for if the body is still convinced within self that that being done is proper, don't change it! Let it have its way! For it must learn for itself. (5451-2)
III. Suggested Therapeutic Regimen
The following is a summary of the most commonly prescribed treatments. They are aimed at improving the circulation and eliminations and in allowing for better attunement to spiritual forces to provide coordination of the physical, mental and spiritual:
1. Osteopathy. Adjustments in the upper cervical and dorsal segments (C1, 2, 3; DI, 2, 3); sometimes in the lower dorsal coordinating with the upper lumbar. Frequency: about twice weekly for five to six weeks with rest periods of two to three weeks. This was by far the most commonly prescribed treatment.
2. Massage. With peanut oil (sometimes a combination of oils). Frequency is variable. Again twice weekly would be reasonable, though in one instance it was recommended on a daily basis before retiring. Emphasis to spine, mastoid, temple and chin areas.
3. Violet ray treatment. Sometimes recommended only after the first osteopathic series. Would be applied along the spine, head and neck areas for three minutes, then with the double-eye applicator over closed eyes for another one-and-a-half minutes about three times per week.
A Glyco-Thymoline or Epsom salt pack may be used over same areas for 20-30 minutes prior to the violet ray treatments.
Discharge from the eyes may occur with these treatments. This should be wiped off with a non-irritating, antiseptic solution.
Potato poultice may also be used after the violet ray treatment. Wash off with weak eye solution that will remove inflammation drawn by the poultice.
4. Eliminations. At least once or twice daily using natural laxatives, e.g., Eno salts, Fletcher's Castoria, bicarbonate of soda with cracker crumbs, etc.; colonics, if necessary.
5. Diet. A wholesome diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Seafoods are allowed but no meats or sweets. Raw carrots, lettuce, celery, watercress and the like are beneficial.
6. Vibratory treatment. Another way of stimulating blood flow is, first, rub the body with cold water to produce shock, followed by fast vibratory treatment (reading 3943-1). Frequency and duration not specified. Twice weekly treatment is suggested lasting 20-30 minutes.
7. Spiritual counseling, prayer, and meditation. These are other modalities available to ensure integration of the triune body, mind and spirit.
