Areas of concern about day case surgery are highlighted. A group of 442 patients underwent cataract surgery with lens implant. They were randomly allocated to day case or inpatient groups. Questionnaires were used to assess opinions about day case cataract surgery and how patients felt they would manage. None of the areas of concern were actually a problem. Difficulties encountered by patients and clinicians in the postoperative period are discussed. Most patients appear suitable for day case surgery provided they are well informed.
