So i was born with a cogential catarct, which means by birth basically. I am 17 now and had since then, doctors were unsuccessful in treating it when i was a baby, and therefore I have no vision in my right eye

For anyone who knows better than me, what can be done? If vision can't be restored what do you think is best? Lens replacement surgery? As you can see the eye with the catarct is slightly smaller. Is development in that eye possible at this point?

I am getting a consultation with Artificial Eyes for shell and was thinking of a prosthetic eye.

The blind eye is smaller than the good one, amblyopia, the eye is white/grayish

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
