IOL??

At the risk of being ignorant..
Can someone please tell me what "IOL" stands for?
Who is a candidate? What is the visual outcome?
Thank you in advance.

An IOL is used to replace the normal lens that is removed in cataract surgery.  You should search this site for IOL, cataract, Crystalens, Restor and Rezoom and read the forums.
