View allMy father needs cataract surgery and the doctor prescribed Phaco Emulsification with PCIOL left in local anaesthesia. I don't fully understand what PCIOL means is it the same as the Alcon AcrySof IQ monofocal lens? I'm considering the Alcon AcrySof IQ lens for him but want to know more about its features is it hydrophobic, aspheric, and UV-protected? Also, is it preloaded? Where can I find detailed info about this lens? What's the difference between the Alcon AcrySof IQ and the PCIOL mentioned in the prescription? Just trying to make sure we pick the best option for his surgery.
