Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If your cataracts are significantly affecting your vision then definitely you shouldn't drive as it endangers your and others lives. Regarding work of you are able to do it without any problems then you may continue because cataract is a age related problem and work doesn't effect it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
