Endoscopic Laser Assisted Dacryocystorhinostomy (ELA-DCR) for blocked tear ducts

Hi I´m from Ecuador, my son has his tears conducts blocked since he was born, we have tried several treatments, and we heard from the Endoscopic Laser Assisted Dacryocystorhinostomy (ELA-DCR) for blocked tear ducts, but it`s not available in our country, so we would like to hear your opinion on this treatment, and if you know where its performed in the US.

Thanks
