Is There Any Surgery To Restore Vision?

Hello. I hoped I could get an answer to my question: I have a hospice patient, age 93, who does not have very good eye sight (very,very blurred). He asked about a solution. I was wondering (and hoping), is there any surgery treatment out there that can restore his vision? Must I know the exact problem with his eyes? Thank you very much for your time.

first there should should be complete eye examination mcula is to be examined to rule out senile degeneration. most important is cataract, if present at least one eye may be operated. phako emulsification maybe done. vision will improve after surgery. your exact problem can be diagnosed after eye examination by eye doctor
