Summary
This study will compare two common anesthesia methods—propofol and sevoflurane—in 40 people having cataract surgery. The goal is to see which one keeps eye pressure more stable and causes fewer heart-related side effects. Researchers will measure eye pressure repeatedly during the operation to find the safer option.
