cataract at 1st stage

my mother has mild cataract in her both eyes, doctor says that it cant be operated at this stage, after 5-6 yrs she needs surgery (if cataract grows more), he adviced us to regularly use eyedrop which contains NAPHAZOLINE HCL &METHYL CELLULOSE STERILE ISOTONIC SOLUTION.
i just want to know that could this eye drops can check the cataract to grow more or she will have to undergo for surgery after 5-6 years.

No, these drops will not affect the cataract progression.
