Yes, many patients do. One of the most common side effects is the patient still has a bit of degree or astigmatism, so seeking perfection is usually a futile exercise.

But it's very common to have patients with almost perfect vision even without glasses and just require that tiny little bit of glasses power.

How much expected improvement to vision can I expect after cataract surgery?

International standard for perfect vision is 20/20 or 6/6 in British terms. It depends on how the cataract is affecting the vision, not only in quality but also in quantity. After the surgery you will have a clear lens in place.
