Cataract relates
My husband got cataract issues (moti bindu) in left eye and he cannot see anything thru left eye now... No vision at all... How soon we should go for eye surgery? Asking this question because we have lot of family functions in next 2 months and can't go to hospital now... So wanted to understand if this surgery can be delayed and will not cause any further harm
