The purpose is to gauge the patients' level of comfort and anxiety for sequential cataract surgeries to assess if the second experience of cataract surgery differs from the initial experience.

Each patient is scheduled to undergo two sequential cataract extractions under topical anesthesia with local anesthetic eye drops and minimal sedation- one on each eye. The surgeon, basic surgical procedure, anesthetic technique, and approximate length of procedure are reasonably similar and the patients act as their own control. Subjects in the study will answer very brief questions regarding anxiety and comfort about their surgery before and after each procedure, and on the day after their second surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients undergoing sequential cataract surgeries within a 6 week time period performed by the ophthalmologist, Amit Tandon, MD.
2. Aged 18 years and older.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Cognitive impairment causing inability to participate in survey
2. Language barrier causing an inability to participate in survey
3. Healthcare POA or guardian leading to an inability to consent to survey
4. Physician autonomy; patients that are inappropriate for the study as deemed by investigator

Patients will be identified by their status presenting for surgery with one specific surgeon (A.T.) at the Eye and Ear Center at Gowdy Fields. Access will be through the preoperative anesthesia assessment performed by the attending anesthesiologist.
