In the past few years, we could watch the great advances in endoscopic surgery. In the same proportion, endoscopic surgery of the lacrimal system, especially on DCR (dacryocystorhinostomy), has grown considerably. This book’s third edition, brilliantly written by Dr Nishi Gupta, will provide to the whole national and international medical community great knowledge and also great visibility. Her outstanding compilation of all her experience in endoscopic DCR and lacrimal surgery is truly a masterpiece. Having the opportunity to dive into this book, may I say the most complete one in this field, one will find a rich and diverse content. From basics to very advanced, these pages offer to its readers the most complete endoscopic techniques and also provide detailed chapters with important topics such as complications, training and education. It is a great honour to preface Dr Gupta’s contribution
