Lasik Is an Impressive Way to Fix Your Eyesight
At Park Avenue Laser Vision they see at least one patient every single day, who cannot be helped with the older, cutting LASIK procedure, but can be fixed by the more modern LASEK Advanced Surface Ablation they are performing!
Also, here are some categories and examples of special patients/situations
they can help with:
Patients with Lazy Eye
By this explanation 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 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 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.
