Why is everything moving?

For the past 8 to 10 weeks no matter what I look at when I’m sitting down or standing totally still
Items that absolutely cannot move (especially direction I see) I am constantly perceive secured and station objects moving in a downward or retracting manner!
Weather I am watching TV or looking at something (including the walls) and they  is constantly dropping downward to the floor or any direction away from me; I look at things on my bookshelf and the whole shelf is moving in a downward and retracting motion, etc...
I will be 60 years old in two months and I have spent my whole life living with astigmatism and in the past 10 years I have endured the growth of cataracts and issues with my left Retina all of which until now have been within an acceptable all range!
Next week my doctor will be removing the cataract from my right eye and in September the left eye; however, I am now learning that my left retina has thinned expadetialy and may need to be addressed when the cataract surgery is done and I have healed completely!
I am frightened that I will never see things normally again; things like:
1) looking at everyday items without getting nauseous or being forced to keep my eyes closed or focused on things held on my hand be cause these items don’t move much at all!
2) seeing glowing around most things;
3) reading without all the letters either overlapping one another or having drastic shadowing;
4$ having both eyes see an item and both eyes agree that it is one color...
Why am I seeing these things every waking moment?  
Am I to get worse and find my life  with normal visual perception has ended and I will be trapped in this new realm where motion is for every thing including steadfast and secured objects?  Oh God I’m so scared of what my future holds!!!
Thanks

Some problems, like yours, do not lend themselves to being able to provide useful or reliable information.  I really can't make any useful suggestions and you will need to rely on your Eye MDs. Ideally you have a comprehensive Eye MD and a retina surgeon Eye MD.
