title: [Ambulatory ophthalmologic surgery].
abstract: In the past years, more procedures (including intraocular surgery) have been performed on an outpatient basis, thanks to the added safety of microsurgery. The decision of whether to operate on an outpatient basis should not just be based on the kind of procedure but more on the patient's suitability and on his social context. The patient must be able to come daily to the office, and eye medication must be applied as prescribed by a relative or a neighbour.
