Can’t Get LASIK

Why you should consider LASEK if you were told you can’t get LASIK or are a bad LASIK candidate:

“I performed over 5,000 LASIKs from 1997-2004, which was at the very beginning of laser vision correction,” says Dr. Chynn. “This means I was one of the first Fellowship-trained Refractive Surgeons in the country, & studied under the “Father of American Refractive Surgery—Dr. George Waring, while at Emory.”

“When I was performing LASIK, there were many patients & conditions & prescriptions I couldn’t ethically treat, including patients with:

  1. Dry eyes: because cutting the LASIK flap kills most of your corneal nerves, which would make you even more dry.
  2. Thin corneas: because lasering under the LASIK flap would go too deep into the cornea, risking ectasia & the need for a corneal transplant.
  3. Irregular astigmatism: because performing LASIK in such eyes again risks causing ectasia & the later need for a corneal transplant.
  4. People with poor night vision: because cutting & replacing the LASIK flap results in a 2-piece cornea forever, which worsens night vision.
  5. Asian people with very narrow eyes (palpebral fissures): because it’s difficult & unsafe time cut a flap if the eyelids are too close together.
  6. People with a phobia of having their eyes cut: because if they squeeze their eyelids during LASIK it might result in a complication while cutting the flap, such as an incomplete flap, buttonhole flap, total flap, or irregular flap, all of which can lead to poor vision, or the laser portion of the procedure not being able to be completed.
  7. People with large pupils: because they might see the edge of their LASIK flap after surgery, resulting in halos around lights at night.
  8. People who engage in martial arts, boxing, or extreme sports: because if they get hit in the eye even years after LASIK, the flap can get torn off, resulting in permanent loss of vision.
  9. People wanting to become part of the military’s “special forces”: because Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Delta Force & Green Berets, etc. aren’t allowed to get LASIK for the reason outlined in #8 above.
  10. Any person who wants the safest procedure & doesn’t want to have their eye cut: this eliminates LASIK.

“For all these groups of people, LASIK isn’t a good option. This is why in 2005 I switched to the non-cutting LASEK procedure that I helped invent while at Harvard — because LASEK can safely treat all these conditions & groups of people who aren’t appropriate LASIK candidates

“Fully 90% of LASIK complications arise from cutting or replacing the LASIK flap, or late flap trauma. This means that by eliminating the flap in LASEK, LASEK is, by definition, 10x safer than LASIK—even an ethical LASIK surgeon would agree with this (although healing time after LASEK takes a few days longer than LASIK)

“Here’s a partial list of frequent LASIK complications that are flap-related, so impossible to have after LASEK:

  • Flap wrinkles
  • Flap striae
  • Incomplete flap
  • Buttonhole flap
  • Full flap
  • Irregular flap
  • Debris under flap
  • Inflammation under flap (“SOS”)
  • Misaligned flap
  • Epithelial Ingrowth under flap
  • Infection under flap
  • Flap melt
  • Misaligned flap
  • Flap dislocation 
  • Ectasia requiring a corneal transplant (not impossible after LASEK, but much less likely than if you were to perform a LASIK with the same corneal thickness & prescription)

“So if you’re looking for an alternative that’s safer than LASIK, “bladeless” LASIK, i-LASIK, femtosecond LASIK, SMILE, intracorneal lens, ICL, or PRK, look no further: LASEK is the safest form of laser vision correction!

Dr. Chynn has gifted hands! He took his time to explain the procedure to me and convinced me why I should up my package. I was beyond scared and nervous on the day of surgery, but he offered me the comfort package which includes, FDA-APPROVED Ketamine and nitrous.Special shout out to the pre-med interns, Marisa and Divine, these ladies are beyond compassionate and took their time to explain the medication to me. Shout out to Dr. D, she’s charming and Tarek thank you for always being you.This is the only center that does 100% non-cutting procedures and I’m beyond grateful for my sight.THANK YOU DR. CHYNN AND PAL!

I am an extremely anxious person, but knew that laser vision correction would greatly increase the quality of my life. Dr. Chynn and his staff at Park Avenue LASEK made this process easy and reassuring.From the moment that I expressed having anxiety surrounding this procedure, I was offered their “comfort package”. Which included Ketamine and Laughing Gas. I went “shopping” to numerous centers around NYC and they were the only ones who offered this for me.I’ll admit, the idea of getting LASEK was scary due to the longer postoperative healing in comparison to other procedures. I ultimately chose it because it was safer and I felt reassured that the Dr. Chynn does ONLY non cutting surgeries, but also the fact that it was so safe he lasered himself!The postoperative medication regime was THOROUGHLY explained to me by Dr. Chynn and his staff. I received print outs of everything I could possibly want/need to know, as well as access to YouTube videos which were super helpful when I needed to keep my eyes closed. Upon first impression, Dr. Chynn seems tough on his staff. After meeting with him several times, it was apparent to me that this comes from a place of absolute attention to detail and perfectionism in his craft — the best qualities to have in a surgeon.Overall, I am so beyond thrilled with my result. Before the surgery I was a -7.50 in both eyes, and now my result is 20/15. Before coming to this office I didn’t even know it was possible to see BETTER than 20/20. Everyone should stop in for a consultation and finally take the step to changing their lives at Park Avenue LASEK

I had a great experience with Dr. Chynn and his office. The surgery was very quick and easy and recovery was simple and easy enough. Also no dry eye issues like with LASIK and no cutting so don't have to worry about a detached cornea.

I did my surgery exactly 6 days ago and I am impressed with my results. I felt no pain in my healing process was great maybe because they follow all instructions to the tea. I am able to walk outside without my glasses and see perfectly fine something I wouldn’t and couldn’t do before surgery. My husband is so impressed he too will be doing the surgery. I do recommend Dr. Chynn, the entire experience was amazing and the staff is great, very caring. Thank you!

Three months post-surgery, and I can confidently say that getting LASEK at Park Avenue LASEK was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I had moderate astigmatism that made glasses and contacts a daily hassle. From the consultation to my final follow-up, the entire staff was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive.Dr. Chynn and his team walked me through every step of the process, explaining the procedure in detail and setting realistic expectations. What really stood out was their personalized care and emphasis on safety and long-term results.The recovery was smooth slower than LASIK as expected but, very manageable. By the third month, my vision is sharp and stable with no more halos or dryness. I now wake up seeing clearly for the first time in years, and it’s still surreal.If you’re considering vision correction, especially for astigmatism, I highly recommend Park Avenue LASEK. The non-cutting, flapless procedure may take a bit longer to heal, but it’s worth it for the safety and outstanding results.

I came to Park Ave LASEK today to shadow Dr. Chynn as a Pre-med intern and had a fantastic experience learning about Keratconous, LASEK, and other various corneal conditions and treatments. As an Ophthalmic technician from a different practice, I was very impressed by the professionalism of the staff and the expertise of Dr. Chynn. Dr. Chynn is a fantastic doctor with the patients' best intentions always at heart. A patient today was referred for Keratoconous and needed crosslinking in order to enlist into the military. After further examination, Dr. Chynn determined that the patient did not in fact need to operate and conveyed that to his recruiting officer. He helped the patient avoid a permanent procedure that may not have been necessary. Based on my experience today, I certainly would trust Dr. Chynn with my future eyecare and highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Chynn at Park Avenue LASEK made my dreams come true! I can finally see without glasses or contacts for the first time since I was 7! I chose LASEK over LASIK because of the complete no cutting of the cornea which Dr. Chynn has perfected over 25+ years. During my consultation, Tarek promised me the moon and the stars and he was completely right. I was extremely nervous going into the operation so I got the “comfort package” which really calmed me down. After the operation I contacted Dr. Chynn to make sure my eyes were healthy and he answered me within minutes, while his wife was in labor! Dr. Chynn and his staff of Dr. Dovzhuk, Tarek, Constantin and Marisa truly put the patient first. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone who is tired of glasses or contacts, even with a high prescription such as myself.

I had some dry eyes And Dr. Chynn figured out it was some combination of lid mites and MGD. He treated me and now I don't feel dry and if anyone is on the fence about getting lasered and has dry eyes come to Dr. Chynn and get them fixed before getting lasered! He will even credit the money paid to the cost of the surgery and can get you 1000 off!!

Dr. Dovzhuk of Park Avenue LasekDr. Dovzhuk was an essential and unforgettable part of my surgery experience. From start to finish, she brought not only her medical expertise, but a sense of calm, warmth, and professionalism that made a powerful difference during a deeply personal time.She was incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely caring. I could feel how deeply invested she was in my well-being and comfort throughout the entire process. Dr. Dovzhuk’s presence brought reassurance when I needed it most, and her energy was so grounding and compassionate.It’s rare to come across a doctor who balances such refined skill with sincere humanity. I am beyond grateful for her role in my journey — she deserves recognition all on her own.Thank you, Dr. Dovzhuk, for all you do!! You truly care about your patients.

My wife actually referred me to Dr Chynn because I was having trouble with my vision and I was immediately impressed by DrChynn’s experience and expertise. The staff is really cool and very helpful too. They made a WhatsApp group for me with all the doctors and staff so I have 24/7 access to the doctors which is really freakin cool and I’ve never seen that before. I’m really happy I went with the non-cutting lasek correction, it’s been completely life changing. Highly recommend.

Exceptional Surgeon, Exceptional Results — TRUST the Process!I am writing this review not only out of gratitude, but also to help future patients make the best possible choice for their vision. After years of careful research, I chose Dr. Chynn for my surgery because of his outstanding reputation and the strict standards of excellence he holds for both himself and his patients. From the moment I stepped into his practice, the entire staff made me feel cared for and supported. The team is highly professional, kind, and extremely well-trained — which gave me great confidence throughout the entire process. One thing I especially want to emphasize is that Dr. Chynn’s strict post-surgery care guidelines are impeccable for a reason. While his strictness may sometimes be misunderstood, it is driven by his dedication to ensuring perfect outcomes for his patients. Additionally, he holds his staff to equally high standards because he runs a formal fellowship training program for the next generation of surgeons. Most of the front desk pre-med staff are on their way to medical school, which further reflects the professional and academic caliber of this practice. After personally experiencing vision correction surgery performed by Dr. Chynn and understanding just how critical proper care is to achieving the best results, I highly recommend that his postoperative guidelines be followed exactly as he instructs. Your eyes are precious — give them the best possible chance to heal and achieve optimal results. Because I followed every instruction to the letter, I am already seeing life with clarity I have not known in years. It’s nothing short of amazing. My personal experience was transformative. Yes, the process requires patience and discipline — but the outcome is worth it a thousand times over. If you’re considering surgery with Dr. Chynn, do not hesitate. Trust his expertise, respect the aftercare process, and you will be in the hands of a master surgeon and a truly compassionate team. I recommend this practice with full confidence to anyone seeking not just better vision, but the best possible experience in achieving it.Forever thankful!!!Sincerely,Esther Hernandez

Thanks to Dr. Chynn, Dr. D, and Tarek for taking great care of me. I had my surgery last week and already have great vision. I did not feel any discomfort or pain during the surgery nor the recovery process. After a couple consultations at other lasik places, I was most confident in having my surgery done by Dr. Chynn. My prescription was -5.00 and -6.50 with astigmatism and I was told that I had thin corneas. I am super happy with the results so far and I do not have any dry eye or night glare issues. It was also helpful that they accepted my insurance so I got a nice discount!

Superhero vision- she’s unstoppable. Did mono lasik on my dominant eye for distance vision and left my right eye untouched for the reading vision in the future. I graduated today with 20/20 even though I wasn’t promised such perfect vision from the beginning. I will never take my vision for granted, what a blessing to see faces and colors so vibrantly.

I just had my LASEK done by Dr Chynn recently. Before going with Park Ave LASEK, I did a bunch of research and that's why I chose them. Dr Chynn is someone who cares deeply about his craft. His style is no-nonsense, blunt, and very exact. Some people misinterpret this as rude but, in my opinion, this is exactly what you want in a doctor. Not someone who will sugar coat or say things just to make you feel better. Gordon Ramsay is rough but if you want the best meal of your life you'll be going to one his restaurants. The same thing is true hereAfter care is also great. One week after my surgery I had a question/concern. I called Dr Chynn on his WhatsApp (which he will give you as his patient). He picked up while being overseas and answered all my questions. Which doctor does that? Highly recommended.

A little background: I've had issues with my eyesight since birth. I have astigmatism, ocular albinism, nystagmus, and a very high prescription. Ever since I can remember, my optometrists and opthomoligists always told me I'd never be a candidate for LASIK.Then on a whim, I Googled LASIK, just to see if it had advanced since I last checked, and there was the result for Park Avenue LASEK. I watched the videos and started following their Instagram posts. One day, I saw someone who had the EXACT same issues as I did who had LASEK done successfully, and the rest is history.I had my procedure done on 1/23, so I'm a month out and doing great! I can see just as well as I could with glasses and my sight is steadily improving. Dr Chynn and his staff are all amazing. Directions for next steps were ALWAYS provided and stressed upon. Honestly, if you don't follow the directions, it's your own fault, because they go over them CONSTANTLY, which was truly appreciated. I think I only had a total of 4 questions throughout the entire process.If you're on the fence, jump down. At least look into it, because if my eyes could be improved, yours most likely can as well.THANK YOU, Dr Chynn and staff. This was so worth it! My only regret is I never got to meet the pup.

Thank you to Dr. Emil Chynn and his team at Park Ave LASEK!I initially stumbled upon Park Ave LASEK because I wanted to correct my vision. Laser eye surgery has always been something I wanted to do for myself since my vision was beyond legally blind (-9.00 in both eyes with astigmatism). I was struggling a lot with my impaired vision prior to LASEK surgery. I always had to worry about glasses or contact lens & solution… Getting LASEK eye vision correction turned my life around for the better. I can confirm that this is one of the best things I have ever invested in & done for myself. Now that my vision is corrected, I can focus on activities that bring me joy without having to worry about my impaired vision.. I was hesitant about laser eye surgery beforehand (due to personal concerns surrounding surgery) but after doing extensive research and speaking with the team, I knew this was the Doctor, clinic, and procedure for me. LASEK is the newer and safer procedure. Tarek matched me with a LASEK package & answered any questions I had related to surgery and payment. The team was detailed in explaining what steps I had to follow the few days prior to the LASEK operation. The day of the surgery came around and I was nervous going in. The comfort package helped calm my nerves. The LASEK surgery itself was not as scary or painful as had I thought it would be. Had I known, I would not have been scared at all. I only knew the operation was basically painless after the surgery was completed. Dr. Emil Chynn’s instructions were very clear and the operation went smoothly for me. Every time I left Park Ave LASEK, I left with paper instructions of what I should do until the next scheduled check up. The paper instructions were clear and if I had any questions, Park Ave LASEK’s WhatsApp group (for each patient) was readily available to assist me(throughout the ENTIRE process). The immediate healing process took 4-5 days for me. The discomfort I felt during the healing process was comparable to the discomfort of contact lens. It was not unbearable.. that is how I would describe it. If you are a regular contact lens wearer, I think you would understand the sensation. It felt like the slight discomfort of a contact lens (which was the bandage contact lens (BCL) for recovery). The eyedrops prescribed and medication that I took helped aid in my speedy recovery post operation. Post operation, I had to come in a few times due to my prescription being on the higher end. This was to ensure that everything was OK and going well with my eyes. Rest assured, I always left the clinic with clear paper instructions. I am glad Park Ave LASEK helped me with my vision recovery and needs.Thank you team for being patient, thorough, and meticulous with my LASEK eye surgery process.Thank you Tarek, Balaji, Karen, and Dr. Tetyana Dovzhuk, and Paarth for being patient with me & answering all the questions I had! And of course thank you to Dr. Emil Chynn for making my vision come true & operating on my eyes!Post surgery and recovery, I will definitely be participating in more water activities! I recommend Dr. Emil Chynn and his team at PARK Ave LASEK to anybody who is looking for the same procedure or a similar procedure! I am beyond satisfied with my results.

I’m getting lasek eye surgery tomorrow at Park Avenue Lasek! Although I’m a little nervous, I know without a doubt that I’m in good hands, which means a lot to me as I go into something like this. The care and thoroughness that Dr. Chynn and team have put in to making sure I have the best possible experience has been so impressive. My eyes are a special case (extreme prescription + neovascularization); this makes wearing glasses or contacts a problem. I trust that the end result of lasek will be great for me and I’m really looking forward to it. I am also beyond thrilled to have even found this place!!! I am not eligible for lasik, so what would I have done for the rest of my life? Feeling nervous and excited and grateful. THANK YOU Dr. Chynn, for reassuring me every step of the way that Park Avenue Lasek is going to take good care of me tomorrow. Judging by the pre-op care, I can tell that’s true. LFGUpdate: everything went as expected and I am forever grateful. It is a miracle I do not need to wear contacts or glasses, a MIRACLE! 🙏🏼

Great experience, Dr Chynn & his Front Desk Manager Balu were both very friendly and efficient: I got a new Rx for both glasses & contacts in 5 minutes, Dr C detected astigmatism in my left eye that no doctor had ever noticed, as well as my current glasses being too strong so they caused headache at the end of the day when on the computer for a long period of time. They also ordered my contacts from 800-contacts without any markup so I saved time😅

I had my LASEK 6 months ago & can say it took ONE MINUTE & was TOTALLY PAINLESS😀They also are the only Center that accepts medical insurance; they took mine & gave me $500 off! Now I’m seeing a perfect 20/20 without glasses or contacts. It was also basically free, because they’re accepting the same dollar amount that I was wasting on glasses, contacts & solutions—for 5 years. After that I’ll start saving $!;)

I had my LASIK procedure performed by Dr. Chynn. He is an excellent doctor, and I admire his organized work style. While he can be quite strict at times, it’s essential for the seriousness of the procedure; any mistakes could lead to permanent vision loss. What I appreciate about his approach is the use of a WhatsApp group chat. If any issues arise, he promptly responds. I’ll kept you updated while my vision keeps improving.

I’m extremely pleased with my decision to see Dr. Chynn. Like many of the best surgeons, Emil is no-nonsense and focused. He is zeroed in on patient outcomes. Unlike a general practitioner, he wants his patients to never have to see him again. His expertise is unparalleled and just one week out I’m seeing 20-20 and likely inching toward 20-15.

I had my Lasek performed when it was called IWANT2020. That's HOW LONG ago it was and they gave me a VHS tape. Yes, a VHS tape for the operation. ALL I remembered was a few zappings for a few seconds and it was done. TODAY, my visions are AS GOOD AS EVER. I owe it to Dr. Chynn. I can recommend Dr. Chynn WITHOUT ANY RESERVATION. How much are your eyes worth to you?!! For me, you can't put a price on it. You think a World Class Eye Surgeon is easy to come by? WRONG!

Excited to do my eye surgery. Hopefully I will not need contacts any longer. Please use their trial lense before having surgery.
