Yes, modern eye surgery is amazing.

I'm going to have to have cataract surgery in the next couple of years, as
well as a cornea transplant in my right eye.  The right one has been
legally blind for years, suffers from keriticonus (eyeball elongates like a
football).  That eye has a mild cataract in it, and the left is just
starting, so all that is in front of me.
