Cataract surgery is the removal of the lens of the eye (also called “crystalline”) that has developed an opacification, which is referred to as a cataract. Metabolic changes of the crystalline lens fibers over the time lead to the development of the cataract and loss of transparency. Following surgical removal of the natural lens, an artificial intraocular lens implant is inserted (eye surgeons say that the lens is “implanted”). Cataract surgery is generally performed by an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) at an ambulatory (rather than inpatient) setting, in a surgical center or hospital, using local anesthesia (either topical, peribulbar, or retrobulbar). Well over 90% of operations are successful in restoring useful vision, with a low complication rate. Day care, high volume, minimally invasive , small incision, phacoemulsification (Cataract surgery) with quick post-op recovery has become the standard of care in cataract surgery all over the world.
The most common condition related to aging is cataract. More than quarter of all Indians aged 65 and older have a cataract. A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens. When the lens becomes cloudy, the light is blocked and scattered, and therefore the image that appears is blurred. As a cataract develops, it becomes harder for a person to see. The lens is that part of the eye which helps to focus light on the retina. The retina is the eye’s sensitive layer that sends visual signals to the brain. To produce a sharp image, the lens must remain clear. Cataract surgery successfully restores vision in an overwhelming majority of cases. Find out what cataract surgery involves, including what to expect afterward and rare complications. During cataract surgery, an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) removes the clouded lens from your eye and, generally, replaces the lens with an artificial lens. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision — more than 95 percent of people who have a cataract removed have no complications and enjoy improved vision. If vision is still quite good, you may not need cataract surgery for many years, if ever. In younger people or people with diabetes, however, cataracts may progress rapidly, making the need for surgery more immediate. An older person who isn’t very active may have less need for sharp vision than does a younger person who needs to drive a car and earn a living. Some people with only minor vision loss from a cataract might want surgery because of problems with glare or double vision. Sometimes a cataract should be removed even if it doesn’t cause major problems with vision — for example, if it’s interfering with the treatment of another eye problem, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or retinal detachment. If you have cataracts in both eyes and decide to have surgery, your ophthalmologist typically schedules two separate surgeries. This allows time for the first eye to heal before the second eye surgery takes place.

What are CBR, CBZ, CBT, RAR, ZIP and TAR files?
Computer files are generally compressed into archive data sets to save space and to organize information better. Common archives are RAR, ZIP and TAR. Comics have a “special” set of extensions to designate them as “comics”. CBR, CBZ and TAR files are comic archive files. A CBR file is the same as an RAR file, CBZ the same as a ZIP file, and CBT the same as a TAR file. The designations allow computers to associate comic reading software with files and allow other non-comic products to use the standard extensions.
The ZIP format takes one or more files and compresses them as one file, with a .zip file extension. The RAR format does the same (and has better compression sometimes).
The TAR format is found primarily on UNIX and Linux operating systems; it can be used on Windows and Mac platforms, although the ZIP format has become the most popular. (Most users are not familiar with .tar files.) The .tar file bundles files together, although without any compression. If a user wishes to compress them, they are advised to use gzip (which turns the compressed file into *.tar.gz ) .
Software programs for making/opening/viewing the contents of these .zip, .rar and .tar files can be found on the Internet.
How do I make my own CBR, CBZ and CBT files?
Place all comic scans into a folder and rename them in page order, eg. 001 002 003 and then archive the files using WinZip, WinRAR or other compression software. Now just rename them with the different extentions. Remember .zip files are .cbz; .rar files are .cbr; and .tar files are .cbt. (Viewers, like CDisplay, can read .all of these file formats, among other extensions, but the de facto standard has become .cbz and .cbr. We recommend you use these two formats.)
You can rename a *.cbz file to a *.cbr file and CDisplay will still view it, although it isn’t recommended. (This might be because WinRAR can read both .zip and .rar files.) Please stick to the original file format/extension name, especially if you’re distributing files via DC++ and/or Bit Torrent.
Also, if you are using WinRAR to rar images into an archive for CDisplay to view, you can just rename the extension from *.rar to *.cbr before you actually start the archiving process.
What’s so good about these digital comic viewing programs?
They’re a great way of viewing image archives, including various options which are optimised for digital comics!
Reading the comic books !!!!

I had this problem. In Tools> Folder options > View - hidden files and folders
The
Show hidden files and folders not working - after virus attack (heap41a svchost.exe)
This is how you get the settings back to normal.
First take
Start > Run >
Type regedit in the Run box and click OK
The Registry editor opens up (See the image below)
Follow the steps in the animation below to get back the folder options to normal to see hidden files.
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
Change the value of CheckedValue from 0 to 1
Cleaning the pen drive right click options :
Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2
Delete all the long keys ( which look like {DGF53-353b3gg3-353523-3g523g} ) there.
Still having problems with this “Orkut is banned” virus ” ??
First make sure that the virus is completely removed from the computer.
How to remove “Use Internet Explorer you dope, I dnt hate Mozilla but use IE`r OR ELSE…” svchost.exe heap41a virus

Change the value of CheckedValue from 0 to 1
Take My Computer > Tools > Folder Options
Change the setting to show hidden files and folders
Apply and check again.
If it doesn’t work, there is another setting in the registry maybe in HKEY_USERS or HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG or even HKEY_CURRENT_USER which overrides this setting.
I’ll try to find out where it is (I came across such a problem earlier and I found that key by luck) The key is in a similar place like this \Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
only that the beginning is different.
I’ll post it here when I find it. If anybody knows where it is, please do reply http://www.fundazone.com/2007/09/show-hidden-files-and-folders-not-working-after-virus-attack-heap41a-svchostexe/#comment-146
It’s a relatively new virus, so most antivirus softwares are not able to detect and delete it.
To remove the virus completely, first you have to end the process svchost.exe belonging to the current user (i think you were able to do that and it worked). But then, the virus files are still hidden in your computer in two places.
In C:\heap41a and in temporary folder.
A trick to get to these folders :
Start > Run
Type C:\heap41a . Click OK
Now, you should be able to see and delete the virus files
Second location (temporary files)
Start > Run
Type %temp% . Click OK
Here, you see the virus files it used to enter the computer.

Download the sequential image viewing utility. Free!
The Windows Image Viewer ‘CDisplay’ was written to ease the viewing of images in JPEG, PNG and static GIF format. This was partly down to the existing programs currently available being too general purpose and thus awkward to use when simply wanting to view images sequentially.
It was written using Borland C++ Builder 5.0 and has been tested under Windows 98, NT 4, 2000 and XP Tablet.
It is important to understand that this program has NO file write capabilities; files are left totally untouched. A small amount of configuration data is written to the registry but apart from that the computer and its data is left untouched.
Features:
Loads JPEG, PNG and static GIF images which are automatically ordered and presented for viewing one at a time or two at a time.
The images may be in a zip, rar, ace or tar archive file - no need to decompress before reading.
Page through the images sequentially and scroll around pages with single key presses.
Automatic page sizing: none; fit to screen, fit to width of screen, fit to width of screen if oversized, display at specific height, or display two pages. Resizing uses Lanczos interpolation for best picture quality.
Automatic colour balance and yellow reduction if desired.
No bloat caused by non-essential general purpose image processing features.
FREE.
To Install:
Click on the link below to download setup.zip. Unzip and run setup.exe. An installer will start which will install and run the CDisplay Image Viewer.
Download version 1.8 NOW
http://cdisplay.techknight.com/setup.zip
Quick Start:
Run CDisplay. CDisplay uses the entire display for images; there is no menu so right mouse click for a popup. Choose load files. Browse to the pages to read. The whole directory will be pre-selected - just press go to read. Or select a range of the files using left mouse click, shift left click and/or control left click (ie standard windows multiple selection keys) and press ok. Alternatively, select one ZIP or RAR file and press ok. The first page is displayed. Use the space bar, page up, page down, home, end and the arrow keys to view the images.
See the ReadMe file or the help (F1 key) for a more detailed description of usage and configuration.
