Hello
It seems from the history that your nephew had injury to the eye and probably he was operated for corneal tear initially. The injury might have caused cataract thus requiring second surgery.
The visual prognosis following cataract is guarded but if it had not caused any injury yo the retina and structures behind the lens vision may remain good.
Hence the vision outcome depends on the severity of injury.
Thank you
