Decades of psychological research has highlighted the impact of visual perception on mood and happiness. The investigators hypothesized that literally seeing the world through rose colored glasses may have an effect on perception, mood, and happiness. After cataract surgery, which classically increases the vividness of perceived colors, patients report significant satisfaction. The investigators therefore sought to explore whether using pink colored lenses leads to a measurable impact on outcomes.
A randomized controlled clinical trial design will be performed. Subjects will be randomized for either pink lenses (treatment group) or clear lenses (placebo group).
Subjects will be asked to wear the assigned glasses throughout the day during the course of the trial. Glasses will not be work while driving at night.
