Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The focus of this study is to assess how pain can be mitigated for patients undergoing cataract surgery through the early application of anesthesia prior to the surgery as compared to the standard timing, and by using the ReLACS cataract surgery technique compared to the standard MCS technique.
