How can be cured cataract?
Cataracts are usually treated through cataract surgery if other methods of vision improvement have failed. Cataract surgery is typically an outpatient surgical procedure and is usually very successful in restoring vision.
Does cataract surgery cause iritis?
Actually, there is always iritis after cataract surgery. This is simply part of the natural healing response of the eye. Cataract surgeons grade this on a scale of "trace" to "4+." With the standard post-op drops this usually resolves completely by four to eight weeks after surgery. However, certain conditions (such as diabetes) can result in a longer course of inflammation. Sometimes, however, the iris is damaged during cataract surgery. Iris trauma can result from conditions that affect the dilation of the pupil (such as pseudoexfoliation and use certain medications). Anyone taking Tamsulosin (aka Flomax) or drugs like it should tell their eye surgeon as these drugs are associated with a condition known as Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrom (IFIS) that can increase the risk of iris damage, capsular rupture, retinal detachment, etc. If the surgeon is made aware of the use of this drug before surgery, s/he can often take extra precautions to limit the risks during surgery.
Can laser surgery prevent future retinal detachments?
Laser surgery can help treat a current retinal detachment, but it may not necessarily prevent future detachments. The underlying cause of the detachment, such as a tear or hole in the retina, will influence the overall prognosis and risk of recurrence.
What are the risks of UV?

How To Cure Cataracts Through Eye Surgery?
Everybody - no matter how old - is at risk to develop cataracts, and a cataract can basically be defined as a small growth on the lens of the eye that clouds the vision by obscuring the lens. There are several different types of eye surgery that can be recommended to someone suffering from cataracts, and, exactly which surgery option will best match which patient depends on factors like the cataract’s size, cause and location. Another important factor is the age of the patient, and, generally speaking, the younger the cataract patient, the quicker the cataract should be removed as infantile cataracts can lead to severe sight loss and, perhaps, blindness. Of the three most common types of cataract eye surgery, two are deemed fairly invasive while the third involves only a tiny incision. This third procedure - phacoemulsification - does not even require the patient to stay overnight in the hospital, and this treatment option works best on small cataracts. Briefly, phacoemulsification is an ultrasound procedure that makes use of an ultrasound probe that emits ultrasonic vibrations to dissolve - emulsify - the cataracted lens tissue. The probe is then used to remove the emulsified cataract debris from the eye, and the patient, after being given a small amount of medication to numb the affected area, is released from surgery. All in all, this procedure should take between 30 and 45 minutes to complete and is by far the least complex of the three. The other two procedures - extracapsular and intracapsular cataract eye surgery - are more invasive than phacoemulsification and are used to rid a patient of medium-sized and severely advanced cataracts. Both procedures involve fairly large incisions into the eye, but, while extracapsular surgery comprises the removal of the cataracted lens, intracapsular surgery comprises the removal of not only the cataracted lens but also the ocular capsule that surrounds the lens. Intracapsular cataract eye surgery is, however, not as common as it once was and is fast giving way to the easier and more convenient ultrasound procedure. Cataracts, if untreated, can lead to blindness, but, given the recent advances in cataract surgery, blindness can be prevented.
