You're wrong on so many levels, and the ignorance is rather shocking, given that it's affected you to such a degree during your entire life.
1- LASIK doesn't fix congenital cataracts, it's a procedure done to reshape the cornea to correct refractive error. The congenital cataract is an opacification of the intraocular lens, the only treatment is to remove it.
2- If you had the 1950's version of cataract surgery, you wouldn't have had a replacement lens inserted into the eyeball, and you'd have been left extremely farsighted, and you'd have to wear really thick lenses that make your eyes look freaking huge. That is something LASIK could fix.
3- Odds are you vision doesn't correct to 20/20 since the reduced vision as the eyes continued to develop up until the age of 10 would cause amblyopia and nothing can fix that.
