My uncle recently had cataract surgery so now he has fake lenses in his eyes to help him see better although he still needs to wear glasses for distance. I have done some research and apparently you can have implantable contact lens surgery which I am guessing would save you the hassle of having to use disposable contacts and glasses.


I am just wondering would this type of surgery work for my uncle since he has fake/artificial lenses in his eyes?

Obviously, it works.

There is also Lasik surgery which will correct vision problems. I had it done in 2006 and still don't need to wear glasses or contacts unless I have looking at very fine print and there is limited light for viewing.

Some people also get surgery to have artificial lenses put in as an alternative to laser treatment.
