posterior chamber intraocular lens in both eyes

This patient has had an operation for cataract.

In fact an English-speaking ophthalmologist would express this as PCIOL OU (the OU standing for oculus utrique: both eyes). If you search for this string you'll find examples (most often with PCIOL run together). Ophthalmologists really like their abbreviations. Here's the list I posted on another of your questions:
