Hi i'm wendy from the philippines, my father is 57 years old, has a congenital cataract, may i ask if the surgery for my father was surely help him to see? because the doctor here said that they can't give assurance after the surgery?. thank you?

Discuss with the surgeon who has seen him. Ask what has been their personal experience in men like him in Philippines.. If not happy with answer get a second opinion but not here. In person.

The lack of adequate visual input through some congenital cataracts makes surgery decades later less likely to produce measurable benefit and certainly not normal vision. Yet this could vary with the type of cataract. Some benefit is possible. In the US the approach is surgical removal of the cataract in early infancy.
