If you are told that you have minor cataract, most likely you would be able to wait until the cataract gets more mature.
Nonetheless, you should continue to schedule regular visits to your eye doctor for follow-up review of the maturity of your cataract.
If your cataract is already mature, it is not wise to delay going for cataract operation as the cataract will be harder in composition and also be of a larger volume, making the surgery more complicated as well as increasing the risk of glaucoma.
Hope that you found this helpful.
