Abstract:: BACKGROUND: The strained situation in the financing of our health system makes it necessary that we reassess therapeutic procedures and their management. Since the squinting operation is mainly performed in the form of day surgery in the English-language area, we followed this example and treated 112 patients in this way. Afterwards we examined their acceptance in cooperation with the Department for Interdisciplinary Quality Management. PATIENTS AND METHOD: 112 patients in whom a squinting operation had been performed in the form of day surgery, received a comprehensive questionnaire with 24 questions, which had been compiled together with the Institute for Psychology, the Institut for Social Medicine and the University Clinic for anaesthesiology. RESULTS: There was a very high acceptance and a positive feedback so that for 3 years now we reserve one day per week for squinting operations in the form of day surgical performance.
