All I had to do was have my optometrist fill that form out after the surgery. And then about 10 days later I got rechecked and was signed off for uncorrected 20/20 by my optometrist. Then I saved that form and turned it into my FAA medical doctor to file it with my next FAA Class 1 flight exam, which by the way was 8 months later.

The FAA doesn't really care as long as you're uncorrected 20/20. Make sure that you keep a copy of this with you while operating aircraft in case you get ramp checked by the FAA.

After your next medical is cleared and doesn't hold the restriction of "must wear corrective lenses" all is well.
