Summary

This study tests whether a melatonin tablet placed under the tongue before cataract surgery can reduce anxiety and help older adults relax. Sixty people aged 60 and older will receive either melatonin or a placebo. The goal is to see if melatonin works as well as standard sedatives but with fewer side effects like drops in blood pressure.
