Summary

This study looked at whether listening to music during cataract surgery can reduce anxiety and prevent spikes in blood pressure. Over 300 adults having the procedure under numbing eye drops took part. Researchers measured blood pressure and asked patients about their anxiety before and after surgery. The goal was to see if a simple, drug-free option like music could make the experience calmer and safer.
