Do you know are intraocular lens implants to restore good vision a permanent cure for cataracts and myopia?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: When a cataract is removed, an artificial lens termed intraocular lens is substituted to restore focus. The power of these lenses is selected to compensate for the basic eye power so that clear vision without glasses is possible. This will permanently correct cataracts and myopia and hyperopia as well.

Risks still remain but the majority of patients have their cataracts & myopia cured with cataract (or clear lens) extraction & premium intraocular lenses.
