My mom is 57 and has been diagnosed with cataract in her left eye which is almost 80% affected, and her right eye just started showing signs. She needs surgery by the end of this month but I was wondering if there are any eye drops that can dissolve cataracts instead

Yes, cataract surgery where the natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens is generally safe and effective, especially in older adults. There are risks associated with any surgery, but lens replacement is considered a very safe procedure with a high success rate. Laser-assisted cataract surgery is a variation that some surgeons may offer, and it can have some benefits, but the choice between traditional and laser-assisted surgery is typically based on individual factors
