Selecting cataract surgeon by experience with particular IOL

From my reading here, I understand that not all surgeons will carry or be experienced with every IOL brand and model. If I am interested in the new Clareon monofocal, would it be best to engage with a surgeon who is experienced with that model? If yes, how best to determine the level of experience of a particular surgeon? In other words, would it be necessary to contact various surgeons to discover this information?

On a related topic, how to research pertinent information about this IOL beyond what is available in PubMed?

Many thanks.
