I've always wondered what eye surgeons do when they replace cataracts

Yes
No.


I'm not sure what they do but those that I know who've had them done
invariably seem to have greatly improved vision, certainly for distance.
Some need 'reading' glasses but not all.

I have glasses for distance - I wear vari-focals, the lower part are
plane lenses. I asked my optician about laser treatment. She said that,
while I don't have any signs of cataracts (virtually) everyone will
develop them at some point due to people living longer and, at my age, I
might as well wait until I get new lenses for cataracts! Five years on
I'm still cataract free.
