Substituting squint eye

I am a 54 year old man. I had outward looking squint on my right eye and myopia of the order of -6 in both the eyes.  Squint was right from birth. Myopia was detected 35 years ago and since then I am wearing glasses

Now I am diabatic, but diabetics under control

I have fair amount of cataract in my left eye. In my right eye it is starting stage. With the result the left eye vision which I was using so far is slightly blurred. My right vision is sharper. I want to postpone cataract surgery.

I want to know whether i can substitute my right eye as the dominant eye deliberately. Is there any exercise or yoga which can make me comfortable with this shifting

No.  It depends on you and whether your brain can adjust to that.  It would have done so by now if it was going to.  If not, you need to consider the cataract surgery with a good surgeon.
