What is Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation

Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) is an eye procedure designed to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma.It is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed inside the eye using a small endoscope.

The endoscope is inserted into the eye and laser energy is used to create small burns on the ciliary body, which is a part of the eye responsible for producing aqueous humor.The laser energy causes the ciliary body to stop producing aqueous humor, which reduces the amount of fluid in the eye, lowering the intraocular pressure.

The procedure is typically performed on one eye at a time and can be repeated if necessary.The benefits of ECP include a lower risk of complications than traditional glaucoma surgeries and a shorter recovery time.

The risks of ECP include temporary vision loss, inflammation, and infection.ECP is typically reserved for patients who are unresponsive to medical therapy or who have had unsuccessful glaucoma surgery.

Causes of Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation

Glaucoma: Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation is a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery used to treat high intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with moderate to advanced glaucoma.
Uveitis: Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation can be used to treat uveitis, an inflammation of the uveal tract (the part of the eye that includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid).
Diabetic Retinopathy: Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation is a viable treatment option for diabetic retinopathy, a condition that affects the blood vessels in the retina due to diabetes.
Pigmentary Glaucoma: Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation can be used to treat pigmentary glaucoma which is caused by accumulation of pigment granules in the trabecular meshwork.
Traumatic Glaucoma: Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation is a viable treatment option for traumatic glaucoma, which is caused by a direct injury to the eye that damages the trabecular meshwork.

Is there any option other than Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation

Medicated Eyedrops: Medicated eyedrops can be used to reduce intraocular pressure, which helps to prevent glaucoma from progressing.
Laser Trabeculoplasty: Laser trabeculoplasty is a procedure that uses a laser to open up the drainage angle in the eye, allowing fluid to drain more easily and reducing intraocular pressure.
Oral Medications: Oral medications can be used to reduce intraocular pressure, either by reducing the production of fluid in the eye or by increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye.
Dietary Changes: Dietary changes can help to reduce intraocular pressure, such as reducing salt intake, increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables, and avoiding caffeine.
Exercise: Regular exercise can help to reduce intraocular pressure by increasing the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid in the eye, which helps to reduce pressure.

FAQ's

Before the Surgery

Inform your eye doctor of any allergies or medical condition that may affect the outcome of the procedure.
Avoid aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications for at least one week prior to surgery.
Stop wearing contact lenses at least one week before the procedure.
Arrange for a ride home after the procedure as your vision will be impaired.
Avoid exposure to bright light or ultraviolet rays for a few days after the procedure.

After the Surgery

Rest: Rest is important after the surgery to allow the eye time to heal.
Avoid Heavy Lifting: Heavy lifting can cause unnecessary pressure in the eye and can negatively affect the healing process.
Use Eye Drops: Eye drops can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Wear Protective Eyewear: Protective eyewear should be worn at all times to protect the eye from further injury or irritation.
Follow Up Appointments: It is important to keep all follow up appointments with your doctor to ensure proper healing and to check for any potential complications.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.
