Hello,
Congenital cataract is curable but visual recovery would depend on the associated eye disease or presence or absence of amblyopia( lazy eye). If your doctors have told that it is not curable then you can ask for the explanation. If there is associated eye disease such as glaucoma or amblyopia the the visual recovery might be poor. Otherwise cataract alone is curable.
