Hello
It seems from the history that your mother has undergone cataract surgery and pan retinal photo coagulation and she also had takayasu arteritis.
This history indicates she probably had a vascular disease of retina.
Hence she is likely to have poor vision.
The treatment option depends on the status of the central retina. If treatment can be done for it she can have good vision otherwise we have to consider low visual aids.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination of retina and get back to me with reports.
Thank you
