They can but your vision would probably have to be noticeably affected for this to happen.
no
Hello,

Yes, depending on the level of progression of them.
Yes and no. They are likely not severe enough to cause balance issues. The brain and ears are also responsible for balance. You should go see your primary doctor first.
