Our poodle has a cataract but no vet to perform surgery

Our toy Poodle Sandy is eight years old and she recovered from a brutal pitbull and doberman tandem attack over a year ago. She's energetic and feisty so I guess the bigger dogs sensed that that's why they just suddenly attacked her. She may be a dauntless little diva but the cataract on her right eye is becoming a problem. She'd have to get up close to a family member to realize that he or she is not a stranger then she'd stop barking.

We're afraid for her really, that her other eye will get a cataract also and she'd become totally blind. There are currently no vets in our country that can perform eye surgery on pets. And even if there are, I doubt that we can afford it. The best thing we can do is to bring her to the vet for monthly check ups.
