Endocyclophotocoagulation (ECP) lowers eye pressure in glaucoma by using a fine laser probe inside the eye to treat the tissue that produces the eye's fluid, commonly during cataract surgery.

York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust says that a thin probe carrying a camera and laser passes through the cataract incisions, and the laser shrinks the ciliary processes that produce the eye's fluid.

With less fluid being made, the pressure inside the eye falls.

The York leaflet reports lower eye pressure in about 80% of cases, with some people able to cut down their glaucoma drops, although results differ and more treatment may be required later.

It reports inflammation and a pressure rise in about 1 in 100 each and severe loss of sight in about 1 in 1,000, and anti-inflammatory drops are used for four to eight weeks.

Flying home: UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance puts the wait after surgery inside the eye at roughly a week, once the surgeon has examined the eye.

A Gurgaon quote for endocyclophotocoagulation is normally made up of these items:

• Measurements and eye scans: taken ahead of the operation.
• Lens, implant or graft: a standard or a premium choice.
• Eye surgeon's fee: which varies between centres.
• Timing: with cataract surgery or alone.
• Extent: the area lasered.
• Anaesthesia: normally local.
• Drops and follow-up: for weeks.

Eye surgery estimates in Gurgaon commonly list the lens, implant or donor tissue, surgeon, theatre, medicines and follow-up appointments separately, so compare like with like.

Eye care in Gurgaon is offered by hospital ophthalmology departments and by dedicated eye hospitals with separate clinics for cataract, cornea, glaucoma and retina.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Gurgaon was officially renamed Gurugram by the Haryana government in 2016, so hospital letters, maps and taxi apps may use either name.
