The correct abbreviation for an artificial intraocular lens is IOL. Choice A (AMD) refers to Age-related Macular Degeneration, which is a common eye disease, but not related to intraocular lens implants. Choice B (OS) refers to the left eye (Oculus Sinister) and would not be applicable as a correct abbreviation for an artificial intraocular lens. Choice D (ENT) refers to Ear, Nose, and Throat and is not related to eye surgeries.
