LASIK Is the Better Way to Fix Your Eyes
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!)
Likewise, here are many classes and examples of special patients/situations
they can help with:
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Traditionally, the treatment for amblyopia, or lazy eye
is to patch the good eye to pressure it to work and to straighten the bad eye
with muscle surgery, if it is crossed. Unfortunately, these methods, which
have been around for almost 100 years, do nothing to address the most common
cause of amblyopia which is anisometropia, or a difference in the prescription between the two eyes.
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.
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.
