Other Special Procedures for Special Patients/Situations
100% No-Cut, No-Flap, All-Laser LASEK and epi-LASEK laser vision correction is only available at Park Avenue Laser Vision.(Every other center is performing this or the older, less-advanced PRKin selected high-risk patients!)
Also, here are some categories and examples of unusual patients/situations
they can help with:
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
By this explanation for anisometropic amblyopia you
can see how we can help treat (or even prevent) lazy eye by lasering off the
prescription in the bad eye, making it have a prescription that is actually
better than the good eye so the brain can no longer ignore the bad eye,
because it is no longer really a bad eye!
Dr. Chynn has successfully performed LASEK and epi-LASEK
(not LASIK) on dozens of patients with a lazy eye, and in every case
the patient s uncorrected vision after surgery (meaning their vision
without glasses or contacts) is actually better than it was corrected
(with glasses or contacts) preoperatively going from 20/60 to 20/25!
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.
For example, in 2008, Dr. Chynn treated Natacha Hildebrand,
who was working for him as an Assistant Laser Vision Coordinator, and she was a
-10.00! preop (or 3x legally blind or about 20/2,000!) and after her
LASEK on 1 eye, and epi-LASEK on the other eye, she is now seeing a PERFECT
20/20 which is quite remarkable.
