Cataracts: Cataracts are not reversible, but, if they are affecting your daily activities, they may be removed, and replaced with a clear implant to improve your vision. Check with your local eye doctor to see if the cataract is mature or "ripe" for surgery...

Surgery : Cataracts are the number one cause of treatable/curable worldwide blindness. Cataract surgery, when indicated, is the treatment of choice to improve vision loss associated with the formation of a visually symptomatic cataract.

Cure: Not sure there is a cure. The vision can be restored by removing the cataract (cloudy lens of the eye) and replacing it with an artificial lens implant that is clear. There is no other option to "cure" a cataract. No magic drops or pill. Sometimes surgery can be avoided until the cataract progresses by changing glasses or contact lens power.
