The major vitamin would be vitamin A, especially when it comes to reduced night vision, but generally benefits are greatest in those who have a deficiency of it. Adequate amounts of all the required vitamins and minerals is needed for eye health, not just vitamin A. They work together, and often more than one is needed for any given vitamin/nutrient to work properly. Depending on where in the world you are, Vitamin A deficiency in the 'west' is not common, and taking too much is toxic to the liver.
Perhaps the best option, if it is actually needed or makes him feel better, is to take a multivitamin which includes the daily requirement of Vit.A and zinc, as well as other micronutrients.
I've never heard of eyedrops that 'dissolve' cataracts; surgery is the DEFINITIVE treatment. It's a relatively simple (usually) procedure, and quick. Don't go to these unproven treatments. They can (and often do) cause more harm than good. Better a simple surgery now than risk permanent damage.
Hope this helps.

Vitamins that contain lutein have been shown to help with some eye disease processes such as macular degeneration. Unfortunately, there are no ways to get rid of cataracts without surgery. A cataract is a change in the lens in your eye and it must be physically pulled out of the eye and replaced with a new lens inserted into the lens capsule.

There are some vitamins called "occuvit"for the eyes. I don't know anything about Russian eye drops though. Good luck.
