Brief Summary:
Gabapentin pretreatment may reduce hyperalgesia occurring at the second surgery in serial, bilateral cataract surgery.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Hyperalgesia Drug: gabapentin Drug: placebo Phase 4

Detailed Description:
Hyperalgesia occurring at the second operation in bilateral eye surgery is well known, and mechanism of central sensitization might be involved. Gabapentin is known to lower the effect of central sensitization, and its effect on acute postoperative pain has been reported. Therefore, pretreatment of gabapentin after first operation may reduce the pain at second operation.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. proportion of subjects who answer that "pain was greater" in the second eye surgery [ Time Frame: Intra operative (pain while fluid injection to anterior chamber) ]

    evaluation of overall perioperative pain


Other Outcome Measures:

    evaluation of satisfaction of both operator and patient

  2. anxiety [ Time Frame: baseline (at OR room arrival, just before sterile draping) ]
