I was talking with a friend today who's wife has had a lens replacement due cataracts on the NHS. They were advised that going for private treatment won't break the bank and you get a better quality lens. I had both my lens's replaced just over two years ago privately. This was very small price to pay for near perfect vision and reduced strength reading glasses.
ypilot:-I had Alcon AcrySof Iq IOL lens. Model number SN60WF UV with blue light filter.
There's a good website for the manufacturer.
Good Luck

Are you a commercial pilot? I mean I was adviced by AME that blue-blockers (blue light filters) are prohibited, or at least not recommended, in Aviation.

YELLOW Intraocular Lenses
Hi guys,
are there any EASA (or ICAO) medical regulations prohibiting blue light blocking IOLs implementation as a result of cataract surgery? These intraocular lenses are now widely popular.
EASA medical class 1.
Kind regards,

Not sure about the legality bit but mine work fine in all light levels from strong sunlight today to low light levels when I was out on a bat watch last night!
