Do they still plead ignorance?

I know I have said this many times before, but now we are in the New Year 2018, I feel it bears repeating once again.  The eye profession continues to profess ignorance as to its responsibility to restore the natural eye lens without resorting to its surgical destruction.  In my opinion, every ophthalmologist should be seeking a way to do this, but I personally do not know any ophthalmologist who is aware of this responsibility to humanity, or if he is so aware, who admits it.
In the past, there have been maverick ophthalmologists who were aware of this responsibility, and did something about it. Two of them successfully used color ray therapy on thousands of patients, one for four decades, but since the treatment was highly individualized and these doctors passed away in the last century, we cannot avail ourselves of that treatment.   Another used nutrition, and successfully overcame cataract using this method for four decades until he passed away in 2010.  The eye profession arrogantly denies any knowledge of these successes, nor has it ever shown the slightest interest in how they were achieved.
It is highly ironical that today, in 2018, we have less means available to successfully treat cataract non-surgically than 70 years ago, when these great doctors were alive.
