Summary
This study tests whether a slow-release painkiller (Exparel) works better than the standard one for pain after eye removal surgery. About 88 adults having their eye removed will be randomly assigned to get one of the two painkillers during surgery. The goal is to see if the slow-release version reduces pain, nausea, and the need for opioid pills over the first three days after surgery.
