Can a bacterial eye infection go away on its own?
The human body has natural defenses against most types of microbes, including bacteria. However, the widespread availability of antibiotics vastly improves the chances of successfully destroying the infectious disease before it damages the vulnerable surface and more fragile portions of the eye.

How long does cataract surgery take for one eye?
Cataract surgery speed varies from surgeon to surgeon, as well as other factors, such as, type of cataract, coexisting diseases (glaucoma, corneal disease), patient age, and other health conditions. In general, most cataract surgeries are completed in 10-20 minutes, but speed is not as vital as precision. Another common variable, is the type of anesthesia. Best Regards, David J. Pinhas, M.D. READ MORE
How can you prevent cataracts from getting worse?
Cataracts are ubiquitous in the aging population, and will cause some change in the quality of vision in every human. Most people can still perform their activities of daily life very well, despite the presence of mild to moderate cataracts.
