Lasik Is an Impressive 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:
A Matter of 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.
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.
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 !
