Rapid close vision deterioration?

Docs say I have a small cataract not ready for surgery. In February, my vision with glasses was normal 20/20. By April - it was 20/100 in right eye. Refraction showed that my right eye went from -6 to -3.5 diopters - my nearsightedness was getting "better", in the sense distance was better but near vision worse. More often, it's a "myopic" shift (or "second sight) in which close vision improves with cataract. And - even with the best refraction, they can only correct it to 20/50 - very blurry even with correction. So basically, within 2 months my right eye can't see very well at all.

Docs say retina, macula, cornea ok so it must be lens, even tho cataract is small. They said it's not what they see, but what I see that matters.

Wondering if anyone has had this very rapid (within 2 months) "opposite" change in nearsightedness (eg close worse) that remains blurry with best correction with a very small cataract?

Use or freeze by 2 weeks ago. It looks fine and smells fine. Not slimy. I know people will say why take a risk and I will probably toss it. Just wondering if anyone ran into this and had any issues.

Just wondering if anyone has a good copy of a Sheffield AL street map with numbers from around 1900. Looking for 19 S Montgomery and 35 S Montgomery Ave around then. Current maps just put them on top of each other. I guess it's 2 houses but just wondering. Can't tell what's there now - an intersection maybe? Thanks!
