Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy: long-term experience and outcomes.

abstract：:Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) is a glaucoma surgery designed to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) by partially ablating the ciliary processes to decrease aqueous humour production and secretion. The aim of this paper is to review the literature regarding the background, indications and results of the surg...
