About

Cataract surgery with topic anesthesia is anxiety provoking. This operative stress can increase pain perception and blood pressure. This discomfort can lead to non-compliance with immobility and potentially lead to intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Pharmacological means are limited to reduce anxiety. Only anxiolytics could be effective but at the cost of side effects not compatible with surgery.

Music Care is a "digital treatment" allowing the diffusion of music with a U-shaped sequence using the principles of hypnoanalgesia.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the MusicCare listening device on the anxiety of patients during cataract surgery with topic anesthesia
