Dr. Chynn has chosen not to continue performing CK, as it's effect has been found by FDA to be temporary, whereas CustomVue MonoVision was approved by FDA in 2008 as a PERMANENT solution to reading glasses! Dr. Chynn was the FIRST SURGEON IN NYC to perform a CustomVue MonoVision treatment in 2008, a special event that generated enormous media attention, including articles in AM New York and the Washington Square News. So throw away those readers with Monovisio--like Dr. Chynn had himself!:) Ideal Candidate:
Dependant on reading glasses, but have no other vision problems

Dr. will can perform LASEK instead of PRK, which is an outdated procedure that he stopped performing over 10 years ago. So, if any MD says that he is going to perform a "PRK" on you in 2008, run the other way!:( Ideal Candidate:

Park Avenue Laser Vision is the only center in New York performing 100% No-Cut, No-Flap, All-Laser LASEK and Epi-LASIK for superior safety compared to LASIK!
Our goal is to provide you with the best in opthalmic care possible. Understanding that every patient is unique, we strive to create a vision correction plan that caters to the specific needs of the individual.
Park Avenue Laser Vision is commited to providing the very Best Medical and Surgical care to our patients--not the cheapest!
Dear Dr. Chynn,
I wore glasses or contact lenses for 10 years, and after your LASEK surgery in 2003 I've got better than 20/20 vision! In the last few years, my contact lenses were irritating my eyes and giving me headaches. After LASEK surgery, I can see clearly and my headaches are gone!
My perfect vision took a few days after my LASEK, as opposed to LASIK, as you told me to expect. I was 20/20 by 1 weeks, and significantly BETTER than 20/20 (20/15) by 1 month!
Now, when I get home I can see so clearly that I often think I need to take out my contact lenses before I go to sleep... until I realize that contacts are a thing of the past for me. No more solutions, no more painful itching and dryness. WOW!
As a published author, I am always on the computer, or reading, or writing, or running around the country on book signing tours. You cannot imagine what a freeing experience it is not having to deal with the hassle of contacts--you have made my life easier!
Your team is very professional, answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable at every stage.
On a personal note, getting rid of my glasses perhaps made me just a bit more confident about my appearance, and I recently got married!:) I can't say for sure that getting lasered helped this process...but it sure didn't hurt! So thanks also for that--and I promise to keep my eyes out for that special woman for you, too, Doc!:)
Thanks again, Dr. Chynn and the wonderful staff of Park Avenue Laser Vision!

We offer a 10-point FREE consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for Laser Vision Correction:
We "read" your old eyeglass prescription to make sure your prescription is stable,
Perform a computerized, infrared Auto-Refraction (AR) to objectively determine your refractive status,
Perform a Computerized Topography to check the front curvature of your eye to make sure it is not warped,
Check pupil size with a pupillometer to make sure you are not at high risk for glare or halos after surgery,
Determine eye dominance in case you wish to have monovision
Perform a thorough Slit Lamp Examination (SLE) to check the anterior structures of your eye,
Perform Applanation Tonometry to make sure you do not have glaucoma
Discuss Mono-Vision with you and perform a simulation if you wish to avoid reading glasses when older,
Check for Dry Eye Syndrome and discuss therapeutic options after LVC to help treat dryness,
Allow you to be examined by and speak personally with Dr. Chynn, who will answer all your questions.
Our top priorities are your comfort, saftey and satisfaction. We use the VISX S4 laser with active tracking that can treat from +6.00 to -14.00 diopters of refractive error and up to 5 diopters of astigmatism. Saftey checks include double-checking eye measurments and calibraing equipment before each procedure.
We take care in making sure you receive the highest quality of care. Unlike other centers, all of our staff has had laser vision themselves, because we all Believe in it! We take care of our patients like they are our own Family, because we understand what it's like to go through the procedure ourselves!
To learn more about our practice and the treatments we offer, please contact us to attend our Monthly Live Laser Seminars, where you can watch a live procedure, have your eyes examined to confirm you are a good candidate, speak to patients who already had the procedure. Attendees will receive complimentary refreshments and a Goody Bag, and be entered into a Raffle to save Hundreds of $$ off your LASEK or Epi-LASEK by Dr. Chynn!:)
Dr. Chynn was the 1st surgeon in NYC to have LASIK, is Columbia & Harvard-trained, and is the only high-volume laser surgeon (10,000+ cases) in NYC with a Perfect Track Record! Of all the ophthalmologists in New York, Dr. Chynn is the only Harvard-trained surgeon who has had LASIK himself and is now 20/20!
Top Benefits:
The Safest Laser Vision Correction Procedures - BECAUSE NOT MAKING ANY FLAP IS SAFER THAN CUTTING ONE.
This is great for patients who really didn't want their eyes cut with a flap, either with a metal blade, as in LASIK, or with a laser either, as in IntraLase or i-LASIK. Dr. Chynn stopped cutting flaps in 2003, so now Only performs NonCutting LASEK & Epi-LASEK, which are 10x safer than LASIK or IntraLase because there is no cutting involved:) This is great news for "scaredy cats"!
Best Training and Experience that Counts - Over 10,000 Cases - 100% Legal to Drive Without Glasses or Contacts!
Dr. Chynn is one of the few lasik surgeons in the U.S. who spent an extra optional year completing a one-year Fellowship in Refractive Surgery at Emory University, which has one of the most famous refractive surgery centers in the U.S. Many other doctors performing LASIK only attended a two-day course to become certified, and they lack the in-depth training that only a fellowship can offer.
Dr. Chynn knows how to deal with complicated cases. You are welcome to inquire about the experience of previous LASIK or LASEK patients, and we encourage our new patients to read his patient testimonials.
Personal Experience:
Dr. Chynn was the 1st LASIK surgeon in NYC to have LASIK himself.
Many doctors performing LASIK have not had the procedure themselves. Dr. Chynn is a firm believer that you never practice on patients what you would not have done on yourself. He had LASIK for high myopia and moderate astigmatism (-7.50 -1.50 X 180) in 1999, and has been 20/20 ever since! When you come in for a free consultation and have questions, Dr. Chynn will take the time to answer any questions, because he understands you are anxious, and want to be reassured before your surgery just as he needed himself.
Staff Training and Experience:
Unlike many centers in NYC, all patients are only examined by medical doctors for all their pre-operative and post-operative visits.
We are one of the few centers in NYC where not only did the entire staff have laser eye procedure (in their cases, the more modern and safe bladeless LASEK), but are all now seeing 20/20! Because of both their professional background and their personal experience as laser vision correction patients themselves, our entire staff is the most knowledgeable and sympathetic you will find anywhere. We will become your partners to help you achieve your best possible vision, your allies to remind you what to do, and ultimately - your friends!
Affordability:
Park Avenue Laser Vision offers 0% financing through Care Credit. If the patients qualify for financing, they can get the surgery for $0 down and 0% interest for 18 months--then pay only $3 per day or less than $100 per month--which is the Same amount most people were Wasting on contacts/glasses/solutions anyway! So now they own their clear vision permanently, rather than "renting" it using contacts--all for the Same $!:)
