Abstract: BACKGROUND Cataract is one of the age-related eye disorders due to the opacity in the lens and accounts for 50% of blindness in India. Factors like family history, ageing, alterations in blood electrolytes and diabetes mellitus are involved in formation of senile cataract. Alterations in serum electrolyte levels can induce alterations in the concentration of electrolytes in aqueous humour, which affect the lens metabolism and probably lead to the formation of senile cataract. The aim of the study is to evaluat… Show more

BACKGROUND Music is an inexpensive, easily available anxiolytic known to mankind since ages. Cataract extraction surgery is one of the widely performed surgeries under local anaesthesia. India is a developing country where limited resources are spent over health infrastructure which has to cater to a large population. In our study we have tried to utilize the anxietolytic effect of music in combating the anxiety and stress patients suffer during surgery. METHODS In this prospective, interventional study, 300 patients diagnosed with senile cataract were selected. The sample size was decided taking into consideration various prevalence studies. The patients were consequently recruited for the study considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into three groups - one undergoing phacoemulsification surgery under topical anaesthesia and two groups undergoing phacoemulsification surgery under local anaesthesia by the same surgeon in a same operating room. Two groups including the one where topical anaesthesia was used were made to listen to ‘Classical Sitar Music’ whereas one group was not made to listen to music. Blood pressure and heart rates were measured before and after surgery and compared in all patients. RESULTS Blood pressure and heart rates were statistically significantly normalized (lowered) post-operatively when compared to their pre-operative values in groups which were made to listen to music. There was a marked decrease in the anxiety levels in patients who were operated under topical anaesthesia when compared to those operated under local anaesthesia. CONCLUSIONS Music can be widely used in decreasing anxiety levels in patients undergoing cataract extraction surgery thereby improving the post-operative prognosis in patients in a cost-effective way.

Cataract is a common eye disease characterized by lens opacity, leading to blurred vision and progressive blindness of the eye. Factors affecting the development of cataracts include nutrition, oxidative stress, micronutrients and inflammatory factors, and also include genetics, toxicity, infrared exposure, hyperuricemia, and mechanical injuries. Among the nutritional factors, a balanced diet, vegetarian diet, dairy products and vegetables are protective against cataracts; high-sodium diet, high intake of carbohydrates and polyunsaturated fatty acids may increase the risk of cataracts; and increased intake of proteins, especially animal proteins, may prevent nuclear cataracts. Intake of antioxidants such as β-carotene, lutein, or zeaxanthin is associated with a reduced risk of cataracts. Minerals such as zinc, selenium, calcium and sodium have also been associated with cataract development. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of cataracts and is associated with several antioxidative enzymes and biomarkers such as glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). Insulin resistance is also an essential risk factor for cataracts, especially in diabetic patients. In conclusion, understanding these influencing factors helps us to better prevent cataracts. And in this article, we will focus on the important factor of diet and nutrition for a detailed discussion.

Background: Music is an inexpensive, easily available anxietolytic known to mankind since ages. Cataract extraction surgery is one of the widely performed surgeries under local anesthesia. India is a developing country where limited resources are spent over health infrastructure which has to cater to a large population. In our study, we have tried to utilize the anxietolytic effect of music in combating the anxiety and stress patients suffer from during surgery to essentially better the postoperative prognosis of the patients in the most inexpensive way possible. Materials and Methods: The sample size was decided taking into consideration various prevalence studies. The patients were consequently recruited for the study considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into two groups – both undergoing phacoemulsification surgery under local anesthesia by the same surgeon in the same operating room where one group was made to listen to "Classical Sitar Music," whereas the other group was not made to listen to music. Blood pressure and heart rates were measured before and after surgery and compared in all patients. Results: Blood pressure and heart rates were statistically significantly normalized (lowered) postoperatively as compared to their preoperative values in the group which were made to listen to music. Conclusion: Music can be used widely used in decreasing anxiety levels in patients undergoing cataract extraction surgery, thereby improving the postoperative prognosis in patients in a cost-effective way.
