I’m Thinking of Trying LASIK
Dr. Chynn is the only operating surgeon, and Park Avenue Laser Vision
is the only center in NYC performing only 100% No-Cut, No-Flap All-Laser LASEK and epi-LASEK laser vision correction.
In addition, here are many categories and examples of unusual patients/situations
they can help with:
Patient with Amblyopia
By this account for anisometropic amblyopia you
can see how we can assist treat (or even prevent) lazy eye by lasering off the
prescription in the bad eye, making so it have a prescription that is really
better than the good eye so the brain can no longer ignore the bad eye,
because it is no longer really a poor eye!
So, the dozens of patients with lazy eyes were all adults,
and had been told over the years (or decades, in many cases) that their bad
eye could not be helped but this was often decades ago, before the excimer
laser was even invented by two of Dr. Chynn s MD colleagues while he was a
student at Columbia University.
Obviously, before performing surgery on any amblyopic eye,
Dr. Chynn will send the patient for a second opinion by a pediatric
ophthalmologist to make sure that the patient will not have diplopia or
double vision afterwards, and carefully explains to and consents the
patient!
Even better, because you have a pre-existing medical
condition, in most cases, your medical insurance will actually partially
pay for your laser procedure because it is not purely cosmetic, but is
correcting a medical problem!
Extreme prescriptions: myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism:
We at Park Avenue Laser Vision are the ONLY center in NYC performing
100% No-Cut, No-Flap, All-Laser LASEK and epi-LASEK laser vision correction.
Therefore, by not cutting a flap, we save over 100 microns
of corneal tissue, which is actually enough to treat nearly -10.00 D! of myopia
in a standard ablation, and -7.00 D in a High-Definition Laser Vision
CorrectionTM !
