Well actually every intraocular lens is good.Which lens is good or bad actually depends upon what kind of requirements you have and of course what kind of money you want to spend on yourself.Hydrophobic acrylic from Alcon,AMO and many more would be a good choice as post operative complication chances are minimally rare with these kinda lenses
