Summary

This study tests whether a 10-minute educational video can reduce anxiety and improve self-care knowledge in people having cataract surgery. About 118 adults will be randomly assigned to watch the video or receive only standard instructions. Researchers will measure anxiety levels, heart rate, and knowledge before and after surgery to see if the video helps.
