ArmyFW..I don't know about the FAA's stance on your specific cataract condition. I had cataract surgery years ago and after the exams and proper forms were submitted, it was a non-issue. I also have glaucoma and the feds granted me a 1st class medical with some stipulations. Those included annual eye evaluations and submission of annual reports. They basically want to see that the glaucoma is under control and visual fields are stable. I was diagnosed with both conditions while employed at a 121 carrier and have since retired. I don't know how having either condition today would effect your employment chances. Best of luck to you!
