Bell’s palsy can affect the muscles around the eye and the eyelid, sometimes preventing the eye from blinking properly. Because the eye is unable to blink normally, not enough tears are spread across the eye to keep it moist. The cornea becomes dehydrated and dry spots begin to form. The eye may become extremely dry and inflamed, often leading to exposure keratitis, a condition caused by the cornea constantly being exposed to the atmosphere

Hello madam.
Post cataract surgery, there is a formation of some kind of white opacity over the lens (known as pco). It occurs in almost all the patients, despite the best surgical techniques and is treated with laser shots. She must have gained a better vision after the laser procedure. The itching and watering may be due to reasons apart from the cataract surgery and laser procedure. It may be allergic or inflammatory. Old age patients tend to develop certain conditions like concretions, d...more

Dear lybrate-user, there are treatments in homoeopathy which can postpone the surgical process but a progressive cataract will have to be excised out by laser surgery at the end. You can instill cineraria maritima eye drops (schwabe in alcohol base) in affected eye.
For more you are advised to go to ophthalmic surgeon for modus of operation and types of lenses.

3. Glaucoma
4. Other miscellaneous causes like vasculitis, uveitis, corneal degeneration etc.

Hello. Unfortunately cataract has no cure. It's just treatable surgically only. I understand it must be difficult going for eye surgery in such difficult covid times. But she should get operated at the earliest, otherwise she might completely lose the eyesight (sometimes irreversibly). I am sorry but no drops can cure your problem.
Hope this helps.
