title: An enhanced role for the ophthalmic nurse. A control study on day case cataract surgery.
abstract: Day case surgery offers a safe and cost-effective alternative to inpatient care. As well as proving popular with patients who can receive aftercare in the familiar environment of their own home, it also re-employs the skills of the ophthalmic nurse which, in the past, have often been underutilized.
