I have a minor corneal scar and I'm wondering if there are any non-surgical treatments like eye drops that can help improve it. Is there anything that can be done without going for surgery?

Some common eye drops for corneal abrasion include erythromycin ointment, ciprofloxacin drops, and moxifloxacin drops. You probably won't need pain relievers. But if you do, your doctor may suggest over-the-counter (OTC) oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

Also, if the cataract is fully matured, is laser surgery better or should we go for manual? And could you suggest the best doctor in Pune for diabetic patients needing cataract surgery someone with high success rates? I've heard about Sankara Netralaya in Chennai would you recommend going there instead?
