It is not clear if she was given intraocular lens implant, or she is using glasses. Once the cataract is out, vision is restored immediately with the help of either of the ways I just mentioned. Vit A is helpful, but any refractive error or any other associated abnormality needs correction, that is more important. See this site-

It further says-
"Without early intervention, congenital cataracts can lead to development of "lazy eye" or amblyopia. This condition can then lead to other eye problems such as nystagmus, strabismus, and inability to fix a gaze upon objects."
Your niece was 4 years old when operated, while surgery if indicated, is recommended much earlier (within months after birth). Was she diagnosed late?
Anyway, best of luck for your niece!
Feed her carrots.
They contain HEAPS of carotene, more than any vegie.
