Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if taking a pill (oral sedation) works just as well as getting medicine through a vein (IV sedation) to help older adults feel relaxed during cataract surgery. We are also studying how these two methods affect recovery, especially thinking and memory after surgery, and how satisfied people are with their care. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive either oral sedation (+ IV placebo) or IV sedation (+ oral placebo) before their cataract surgery. They will complete short surveys about their thinking and recovery before and after surgery, and will be contacted by phone after surgery to check on their recovery. The results of this study will help doctors understand if a simple pill can be a safe and effective alternative to IV sedation for cataract surgery.
