Do patients like day case cataract surgery?
One hundred and fifty consecutive questionnaires following day case cataract surgery showed that 87% of the patients would choose day surgery again. The questionnaires were directed at the patients' attitudes to day surgery for their cataracts. There was overwhelming acceptance of the travelling and inconvenience involved.
