Post jetrea treatmen: I don't know the reason not to have cataract surgery ask your ophthalmologist, if there is no contraindication to surgery you can proceed with it.

When to do cataracts: If no macular issues & If best vision is worse than 20/40 or glare is significantly affecting VA, most surgeons prefer to do surgery soon but depends on pt's sx, pt's risk factors, pt's preferences; also, though no guarantees with any surgery, many patients are less dependent on glasses & even glasses free after surgery which helps many decide for surgery soon.
