I had lasek surgery on both eyes, one which has an astigmatism, and my vision has not deteriorated since the procedure. Every person is different but it's believed that this procedure will prevent further vision problems.

Who is the best LASIK surgeon in New York City?

I have had mine done at Park Avenue LASEK Vision in New York by Dr. Chynn. Midtown itself can be little pricey, but it's definitely worth it to pay a little extra to have peace of mind. Dr.Chynn has made my surgery affordable, LASEK is the best Christmas present I ever got. Yes, I got LASEK the day before Christmas eve! I was very nervous, and on the fence about surgery, after all it is my eyes at risk. After long research I realized the LASEK is the way to go, it is much safer than LASIK because it does not cut your eye, because he doesn't have to cut a flap, therefore preventing ALL flap complications. I went to Park Avenue LAsek because they are the ONLY center in NYC that exclusively performs the safer LASEK procedure. I have never experienced dryness or discomfort through out the healing process ; however, Park Avenue Lasek offered me punctal plugs which relive that dry eye syndrome some people may have after surgery. I actually had this before LASEK, probably because I never use natural tears. Surgery was super quick and easy, the recovery was speedy, and I was shopping 3 days post op! I couldn't believe that I finally have the 20/20 vision I could never imagine waking up with . I thank Dr. Chynn very much and certainly recommend him as a doctor to any one who is looking to get rid of their glasses or contacts. Dr. Chynn is super smart, talking to him for a few minutes was like getting a lecture from a Harvard professor. After all, he went to 5 IVY league schools ( Harvard, Columbia, NYU, Emory, Dartmouth)
