This is a randomised Observational study, studying the Effects of music on pre- and intra-operative anxiety through assessment of pupil size and vital signs (Blood pressure, Respiratory and Pulse rates) among cataract surgery patients in UNTH-ENUGU, in which 98 patients underwent cataract surgery under regional anaesthesia - with and without music. Music was found to have an effect on pre-operative and intra-operative anxiety by positively affecting blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate and pupil diameter (P<0.001)
