I am so sorry for Gabby and you, and I understand financial constraints. However, cataracts must be treated. From WebMD:

An untreated cataract may “luxate” or slip from the tissue that holds it in place, freeing it to float around in the eye where it may settle and block natural fluid drainage. This can lead to glaucoma, which can cause permanent blindness. Cataracts may also begin to dissolve after some time, causing deep, painful inflammation in the eye.

Blindness is not the only risk. Glaucoma, which is very painful and can lead to loss of the eyes, is a very real concern. Gabby really needs to see an ophthalmologist. An exam is under $200. The specialist is equipped to best tell you what Gabby's options are.
