I have a cataract forming in only one eye; how will removing it affect my vision?

[markhuggins]

My current prescription is OD: Sphere -2.75: Cyl: +0.75; AXIS: 65: ADD +2.75

                                         OS               -4.25         +0.50            125         +2.75

I am 67.  I have worn glasses for 47 years.  I have a cataract forming in my weaker left eye.  I began to notice problems reading street signs with my left eye a few months ago.  Besides the blurriness, I am having double vision in my left eye.  My ophthalmologist thinks it is too early to remove cataract.  Will a prism lens help with the blurriness/ double vision in the eye with the cataract?  If one only has a cataract in one eye, how does removing it affect vision in both eyes?  Seems like I read something about monocular vision?  It's interfering with my pickleball game, which I started 5 months ago.  If you are seeing 2 balls coming at you, which one do you hit ;>) ?

Read this very very carefully:  https://www.medhelp.org/user_journals/show/1648102/Consider-ALL-the-Options-Before-Your-Cataract-Surgery-Working-Through-Whats-Best-For-You    ; If you have questions after that please post.   1. No way to tell how fast your cataract will grown.  2. prisms help eye alignment problems not clarity problems.   HINT: hit the ball that is clearest.
