LASEK Enhancements: A Safer, Smarter Approach to Correcting LASIK Complications

When LASIK Isn’t the End of the Story

For many patients thinking about a LASIK enhancement, the biggest barrier isn’t eligibility or cost — it’s fear. Fear of discomfort, fear of making the same mistake again, fear that it could make things worse. At Park Avenue LASEK, we get it — and we’re here to help.

That fear is valid — but it doesn’t have to hold you back. LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy) is a gentle, non-cutting alternative to LASIK. And at Park Avenue LASEK, we do more than just perform the procedure — we connect you with real people who’ve been where you are. We call them “LASEK Buddies.” They’ll share their honest experiences to help you feel confident about your decision.

Many patients come to us after LASIK didn’t give them the results they hoped for. Maybe their vision regressed, or they’re dealing with issues like glare, halos, or flap-related complications. Often, they’ve been told their only option is to lift the old flap — or worse, cut a new one. Our answer? You don’t have to.

Why LASIK Enhancements Are Sometimes Needed

Even the best LASIK results can fade over time. Here are some common reasons patients come to Park Avenue LASEK for enhancement: – Residual nearsightedness or astigmatism after initial LASIK – Vision regression over time – Glare, halos, or poor night vision – Flap-related issues like wrinkling or inflammation

These issues are real, but they don’t require more cutting. That’s where LASEK comes in — a surface-based procedure that leaves your cornea intact.

The LASEK Advantage: Surface Treatment, No Flap Required

Unlike traditional LASIK, LASEK doesn’t involve creating or lifting a flap. Instead, we gently loosen the thin outer layer of your eye (the epithelium), treat the surface of the cornea, and allow that layer to grow back naturally. The benefits?

  • No risk of flap complications
  • No damage to corneal structure
  • Safe for thinner corneas or previous LASIK patients
  • Improved stability and long-term outcomes

We Can Laser the Flap — But There’s a Better Way

Some doctors will suggest lifting your original LASIK flap and lasering underneath it. But if your flap is old, off-center, or unstable, this can do more harm than good.

At Park Avenue LASEK, we’ve developed a better method. We treat the surface — even if you had LASIK before — using advanced LASEK techniques designed to preserve your cornea and improve your vision safely. No cutting, no lifting — just a clearer future.

Trusted Experience: Over a Decade of LASEK Enhancement Expertise

Dr. Emil Chynn, our medical director, published a peer-reviewed paper more than 10 years ago advocating for surface-based enhancements using LASEK instead of lifting LASIK flaps. Since then, our team has helped hundreds of patients across the country correct complications from previous surgeries using this safe, effective technique.
