The first part of the sentence uses a noun, "glaucoma," to describe the condition that threatens vision. Therefore, the second part should also use a noun to maintain parallelism. "Cataracts" is the correct noun choice. "Getting cataracts" is not parallel with "glaucoma," and it also adds unnecessary verbiage to the sentence.
