I have recently been diagnosed with cataracts (so thats why everything was a bit blurry)
and am having the operation (both eyes) shortly.
I have searched PPrune and found a lot of useful information, but there did not appear to be any Australian input.
Has anyone with a Class 1 medical in Australia had cataracts removed ? Could you share your experience particularly with regard to regaining your medical and the time you were off work.
I have already talked to AvMed who require a DAME eyesight test and supporting documentation before reinstating the medical. The ophthamologist says two weeks recovery time, could I expect to do the DAME check then?
Thanks for any response.
