I am also facing cataract surgery in the spring and I'm gathering information on what to expect from the FAA. From other reading I inferred that a 90 day evaluation period is required after cataract surgery before you can reapply for your medical, (assumng it has lapsed), otherwise a standard eye exam with those results documented on an FAA-provided form to your AME and you're back in the saddle. Does this sound accurate?

What kind of evaluation period is required for multi-focal implants? And once you have cataract surgery, do you have to go through the Special Issuance letter routine every year after?

Thanks in advance for all input.
