posterior chamber intraocular lens in both eyes

I am pretty sure that what looks as though it could be UO is actually LIO, meaning lente intraocular. CP is cámara posterior. And AO, as noted in an earlier question, is ambos ojos.

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:

Pardon me: oculus uterque, not utrique.
