Hello
As you mentioned that you have this cataract since childhood...so there are chances that you may have amblyopia or lazy eye in that eye.
If there is mature cataract,then retina evaluation can be done with B scan which can give gross idea about retina
These types of cataract are usually operated under guarded prognosis
