Dr. Chynn is the most experienced & well-known LASEK surgeon in the US, has performed more LASEKs than any other surgeon in the US, and has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, USA Today, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, Bravo, Howard Stern and Discovery Channel.  

Dr. Chynn graduated cum laude from Dartmouth College and received his MD from Columbia University, the #1 medical school in NY. He completed his residency in ophthalmology in 1996 at Harvard and his fellowship in Corneal Transplantation & Refractive Surgery at Emory University.  He then received his MBA from NYU with Beta Gamma Sigma honors.  Dr. Chynn is also a member of MENSA, the organization that certifies geniuses with an IQ above 150. Dr. Chynn was on the teaching faculty of both Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital and New York Eye & Ear Infirmary, ranked Top Specialty Eye Hospitals by US News & World Report.  

Dr. Chynn is the only eye surgeon in the US who had LASIK in 1 eye and LASEK in the other, and who has performed over 5,000 LASIKs & 25,000 LASEKs, so is uniquely qualified to explain why LASEK is superior. He was the 1st eye doctor in New York to get LASIK (in 1999), but suffered from dry eyes & night glare in that left eye. This motivated him to upgrade his practice from this older cutting procedure to the newer, safer, better LASEK procedure.  He then LASEK’d his own right eye to demonstrate to the world how much safer and better LASEK is than LASIK, and has no dry eyes or night glare in his LASEK eye!
