Vitrectomy is a procedure where the gel-like substance inside the eye is removed, while cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens of the eye and replacing it with a clear artificial one. These surgeries require a type of numbing injection called retrobulbar anaesthesia, which is given behind the eyeball to block pain during the operation. The study will use two different treatments: one is a herbal medicine tablet called Nervenruh forte that contains plant extracts from hops flower, valerian root, and passionflower, and the other is a medication called Bromazepam. Both of these medications are intended to help reduce anxiety and discomfort. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether listening to music and taking herbal medicine can reduce pain and anxiety during the time around the surgery.

During the study, patients will receive one of the treatments before their eye surgery. The study will measure pain and anxiety levels at different times: when patients first arrive, before the numbing injection is given, right after the injection is given, and immediately after the surgery is completed. Pain will be measured using a scale where patients rate their pain level, and anxiety will be measured using questionnaires that ask about feelings of nervousness or worry. The study will also record how long it takes to give the numbing injection behind the eye.

Patients participating in this study will be adults over 18 years old who need surgery on one eye only. The treatments being tested are taken by mouth in tablet form. The study aims to understand whether these approaches can make the surgical experience less painful and less stressful for patients undergoing this type of eye surgery with retrobulbar anaesthesia.
