The model of lens they used is called Acrysof, by Alcon. The model
number is SA60AT, with a power rating of 24.0 D. It also has the
letters "UV" on the ID card. Does that mean it's got some sort of UV-
resistant coating or something? And yeah, I can tell just how yellow
the right eye's lens is by comparison. Reckon I'll be getting that
one done too, in another year or so...
