Summary
This study tested whether giving a pill instead of IV sedation before cataract surgery is safe and effective for older adults. Twenty people aged 65 and older were randomly assigned to receive either a pill or IV sedation. The goal was to see how well their thinking and memory recovered after surgery and how satisfied they were with the experience. Results will help design a larger future study.
