<DIV>Charlie,</DIV>
<DIV>This isn't "Ron", but it is first hand info.</DIV>
<DIV>I had Catarac surgery about 4 years ago. They were both done in the same
week. All "outpatient"</DIV>
<DIV>.</DIV>
<DIV> The first I was back flying in 2 days. The second I was flying that
afternoon. No, it didn't help my flying. That's another story. But, It sure
helped my vision.</DIV>
