Hi
Welcome to Health care magic
I went through your history provided to us. It seems your husband is having frequent headache.
Cataract will not cause headache by itself. However refractive error associated with cataract can cause headache. Hence this needs to be corrected. The appropriate treatment for cataract is by surgery.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment.
