Who Is the Best NY LASIK Surgeon?
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 progressive LASEK Advanced Surface Ablation they are performing!
In addition, here are some classes and examples of unusual patients/situations
they can help with:
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Traditionally, the treatment for amblyopia, or lazy eye
is to patch the good eye to force 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 lazy eye, 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.
These patients are among our happiest patients, as we didn t
just eliminate their contacts and glasses (like for a regular patient), but we
actually took an eye that they had given up on and made it a practical,
working eye!
Most patients with amblyopia whom we fixed report vastly
improved peripheral vision, and also say that their bad eye no longer
wanders when they are tired and that they feel less of a strain on their
good eye because they are using both eyes together for the first time in
their lives!
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 !
