How LASEK Helped DJ Steve See the World Clearly Again

As a DJ, Steve’s career revolves around vibrant lights, dynamic visuals, and high-energy performances. But for years, his severe astigmatism made his work a challenge—bright lights in clubs and venues were overwhelming, and night vision problems added another layer of difficulty. Steve needed a solution, but LASIK posed a risk of making his night vision significantly worse—a well-known side effect of cutting procedures like LASIK and SMILE.

Why Steve Chose LASEK Over LASIK for Astigmatism

Steve made the smarter, safer choice—non-cutting LASEK. Unlike LASIK, which cuts a flap in the cornea to raise and then reattach, severing corneal nerves, LASEK gently reshapes the surface without compromising the corneal structure. Not only is LASEK safer for astigmatism, but it also treats all of Steve’s astigmatic error, rather than just most of it like LASIK or SMILE would have.

The Results? A Life-Changing Difference with LASEK

Since undergoing LASEK for astigmatism with Dr. Chynn at Park Avenue LASEK, Steve can now see clearly without glasses—for the first time in his life. The difference is night and day. His ability to focus on his work and enjoy the lights, music, and energy of his DJ performances has improved tremendously.
