Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Cataract is common and easily curable condition. You can go for cataract surgery which can be done in a short time and you can go back to home on the same day. It’s an age related disease unfortunately you can not prevent the progression of the disease. Consult an ophthalmologist and he will explain various surgical options.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
