The purpose of this study is to assess the validity of lavender aromatherapy as a method of anxiolysis prior to a cataract surgery, and to see if this effect will extend intraoperatively to minimize patients\' intraoperative medication requirements. The study team plans on enrolling 186 participants. The investigator team hypothesizes that: 1. Participants will have a lower anxiety score after the intervention 2. Participants will require less intraoperative sedation medication compared to participants that did not have the lavender intervention. 3. A decrease in intraoperative medication requirements will lead to a faster discharge time
