Does Having Cataracts Cause Wobbly Walk?

I have cataracts but am not scheduled to have surgery until close to the end of this year. Because of this my vision is somewhat blurry. Could this also be the cause of feeling wobbly when I walk? I do have spinal stenosis as well as sciatic issues in my left leg.

usually cataract causes blurred vision or dimnushed vision .
It would not cause wobbly vision.
if you are able to manage your day to day routine activities then cataract surgery is not needed now and you can see dr at your routine appointment.
get your refraction done.
