Cataract surgery anesthesia needs study
Part of Eyes & vision, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how much anesthesia is needed during outpatient cataract surgery. It may help find the right approach for your comfort and safety.

This study looks at whether removing cataracts through a common surgery can help patients feel more comfortable and use fewer eye drops or other medications. It is for people who need cataract surgery in both eyes and have no other major eye problems.
This trial is testing whether a melatonin tablet placed under the tongue before surgery can help older adults feel calmer and more comfortable during cataract surgery. Melatonin is a natural sleep hormone that may reduce anxiety without the side effects of common sedatives.
This study looks at whether having cataract surgery with sedation affects memory or thinking in people aged 65 and older. Participants will take simple mental tests before and after surgery to see if any changes happen.
This study looks at how well sedation (medication to help you relax) works during cataract surgery when only numbing drops are used on the eye. It may help patients who are anxious or uncomfortable during the procedure.
This study looks at how general anesthesia affects blood pressure and eye pressure in older adults having cataract surgery. It helps doctors understand if the anesthesia is safe and works well for people in this age group.
This study examines how different surgical approaches during cataract removal affect your vision and eye health after surgery. If you need cataract surgery, this trial may help doctors understand which techniques work best for patients like you.
