Hi!
Yes, during cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced by an implanted artificial lens. By choosing the appropriate power of the implanted lens, myopia can be corrected. Special lenses can also be chosen to correct astigmatism (toric lenses) and presbyopia (multifocal lenses).
Hope this clarifies!
