hi.welcome to healthcaremagic forum.till now, except surgery, there is no cure for cataract. age related cataract has its natural coarse and nothing will help. blood sugar level should be checked to rule out diabetes. cataract operation is not emergency, so wait for surgery till blood pressure control.keep in touch with doctor and follow their advice.good luck.
