What type of light is most dangerous to the back of the eye?
The sun's primary danger to us comes in the form of UV light or radiation. UV radiation is a component of solar radiation. Artificial sources like welding machines, tanning beds, and lasers can also give off UV radiation. There are three types of UV radiation. UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not present any threat. UV-A and UV-B radiation can have adverse long- and short-term effects on the eyes and vision. Both long- and short-term exposure to UV radiation can harm the eyes, affect vision, and compromise overall eye health. There are several eye diseases and conditions caused or aggravated by exposure to UV radiation: Macular Degeneration. Cataracts.. Pterygium. Often called "surfer's eye." Skin Cancer. Skin cancer in and around the eyelids is also linked to prolonged UV exposure. Photokeratitis. Also known as corneal sunburn or "snow blindness."

Could energy weapons be used to cause cancer?
Of course they could. One of the most well known sources of cancer is radiation, which is energy itself (whether it be UV overexposure from the sun or gamma waves from an atomic bomb). This energy could easily be turned into a weapon, which would, as a side effect, cause cancer. Most effects from weapons are immediate, a cut from a knife, bullet hole or the loss of a limb from a mine. Long term effects might not be seen as being as 'valuable' as short term immediate effects.
