Summary
This trial tests whether listening to personalized music during cataract surgery can reduce anxiety and pain. About 100 patients having surgery under local anesthesia will either receive standard care or also listen to their preferred instrumental music (60-100 beats per minute) for about 30 minutes. Anxiety and pain levels are measured before and after surgery to see if the music makes a difference.
