It's fairly common, but not universal. I would get the set working well first.
It's a cosmetic issue, like having a cabinet with blemishes. If the TV never works well enough to put in your living room and watch every day, then you can skip the part where you refinish a cabinet or remove a cataract. Phil Nelson

if your cataract is that bad,you might be able to very easily remove it.i have had a few fall off once the tape is cut.we should all be that lucky!if done properly and all safety precautions taken(eyewear,clothing,etc)this should be routine.good luck!

I did mine on one of our florida hot days.I was sweating bullets because of the leather jacket,heavy pants,kneck scarf,and blast shield that i was wearing.The results were well worth the discomfort.I used doug's guide to do it,and it went exactly like he said.
Just protect yourself so if it does blow,you are only out a tube.

The few cataract jobs I did always happened just as Sampson described... pull the tube, start cutting the tape, then PLOP... the damn thing just falls right off!
If it happens that way for you, the worst part will be cleaning that old sticky stuff out of there... it's quite yucky... especially with all the mold and mildew in there.
