Brief summary
Most patients treated for cataract surgery benefit from a short outpatient course with topical local anesthesia. Having to undergo surgery, especially on the eye, without being asleep, can be stressful. Sometimes waiting in a waiting room with other patients can increase this stress. Patient anxiety may increase blood pressure potentially leading to the prescription of nicardipine to allow surgery to be performed. The patient's anxiety also increases the surgeon's stress, which can alter the conditions for performing the intervention and increase the risk of intraoperative complications. Besides the administration of anxiolytics, nurses have few options for patients with anxiety. However, the treatment response time is not always appropriate and the patient's cooperation during the procedure can sometimes be impaired. The effect of music on preoperative anxiety has been evaluated in several studies and has shown a significant decrease in anxiety before surgery. MusicCare® is a digital treatment based on the principles of hypnoanalgesia which has been tested in the management of patients with various pathologies (depression, Alzheimer's disease, chronic pain, etc.) and has shown relative effectiveness. the absence of intervention on the pain and anxiety of patients. In the context of cataract surgery with topical local anesthesia, we would like to assess the contribution of offering the MusicCare® listening device on patients' anxiety about absence
