Summary

This study looks at 50 adults having cataract surgery to see if using numbing eye drops (topical anesthesia) or full sleep (general anesthesia) leads to less pain after the operation. Researchers will check pain levels, side effects, and how satisfied patients are at 24 hours, one week, and six weeks after surgery. The goal is to find which method offers a smoother recovery.
