Park Avenue LASEK

LASEK & LASIK Eye Surgery NYC

If you are seeking a place to undergo LASEK & LASIK Eye Surgery in NYC, Park Avenue LASEK is your top laser vision correction center. Unlike LASIK, LASEK is a non-invasive surgery that does not involve cutting into the delicate layers of your eyes.

As a result, you do not put your eyes at risk of the flap complications that have always been associated with LASIK, the older form of surgical vision correction. Read on to take a good look at why we are your best choice for LASEK. Other Centers claim they are the safest – only one center can be the safest – and that center is ours – because we are the ONLY center that will NOT CUT YOUR CORNEA to fix your prescription!

Dr. Chynn was an undergraduate at Dartmouth College and attended medical school at Columbia University’s College of Physicians & Surgeons (typically ranked the #1 medical school in New York State). 

He completed his residency at the world-famous Harvard University’s Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary, where he was on the teaching faculty of Harvard Medical School.

After Harvard, Dr. Chynn could have gone out and performed refractive surgery (like many doctors in NYC who never completed a fellowship). Instead, he chose to spend an additional year completing a full fellowship in Corneal Transplantation & Refractive Surgery at Emory University in Atlanta, under George Waring, MD, who introduced RK and LASIK to the US. Book an appointment here or give us a call at (212) 741-8628

I traveled to NYC from out of state for Dr Chynn’s non-cutting, no-flap procedure so I could eliminate the risk of post-operative dryness, night glare, flap re-opening, etc. Two months later, I can now say that getting epi-LASEK surgery performed by Dr Chynn was well worth the added cost of travel. I am seeing 20/20 without any complications, and in his follow up care Dr Chynn is more responsive remotely than most physicians are in person! I highly recommend Dr Chynn.

Really happy with Nana and my experience here. Had high astigmatism and was really concerned about the dry eyes associated with LASIK. Also didn’t want the risk associated with the flap.LASEK was newer and a non-cutting version of LASIK without the flap, so was really happy to get the chance to get it done with Dr Chynn, who is one of the best in the field.Really excited to be able to be free of glasses and already able to see clearly quickly post-op!

I had a left eye that was lazy & had a -10.00 Rx with astigmatism. Many doctors said nothing could be done. Went to Dr Chynn & he said he’s the only doctor in the USA who’s routinely fixing eyes like mine. He let me speak to a former similar patient. Took my medical insurance. Got that eye seeing 20/25 which is almost perfect, and better than I ever saw with glasses or contacts—without them! You really owe it to yourself to check them out. Especially if you were told your case was “hopeless” like mine!

I had my LASEK surgery a week ago and have had a smooth recovery process. I chose to do this because it’s safer than LASIK and the effectiveness lasts longer. I’m satisfied with my results and can’t wait to start getting back into running/sports with my new eyes.

Got the surgery 8 days ago and my eyes are clearer than ever. Used to be -9.00 and had to rely on contact lenses and glasses every single day. Now life is so much easier. Dr.Chynn is strict and professional, he suggested that I choose LASEK because I have a high prescription,other surgeries weren’t suitable for me. Unlike LASIK, LASEK is a non-cutting laser vision correction, making it the safest option. Moreover, the entire team is really nice, informative, and never refused to answer when you have any questions.

Had non cutting laser vision correction surgery at Park Avenue Lasek with Dr. Chynn. I am 5 days post-op and my vision has already improved dramatically. Very excited so far, 5/5.3 months post-op update :I am about 3 months post-op from my epi-LASEK procedure performed by Dr. Chynn this April. I am very happy not only with the results of the procedure itself but also with the personalized post-op care that Dr. Chynn provides. I am a physician myself and I can honestly say that I have never come across another physician or surgeon like Dr. Chynn. He not only gave me his direct phone number but also set up a Whatsapp group for me so I could directly contact him and his staff for any questions. I am truly impressed by Dr. Chynn's attentiveness to his patients and how speedily he responds to all of my questions.Thank you Dr. Chynn!

I was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff, Constantine and Dr. Omar. They made me comfortable and worked with what I needed. Because I have both a reading and distance prescription, and I didn’t have a very strong prescription, it was suggested that I get the mono vision (one eye only) so that I can both see at a distance clearly and read when needed. It’s been 3 weeks and my sight keeps getting better. The service and care I received were impeccable. I had surgery right before a holiday weekend and Dr Chynn himself even responded to my texts to reassure me and make sure I was fine. I love Park Avenue Lasek and I’m very happy with the service and results.

I recently had the pleasure of undergoing LASEK surgery with Dr. Chynn, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his exceptional skills and care. From the moment I stepped into the clinic, I felt reassured and confident that I had made the right choice. The results of my LASEK surgery have been truly life-changing. My vision has significantly improved, and I no longer depend on glasses or contact lenses. Dr. Chynn’s expertise has given me a newfound freedom and a renewed zest for life. I am eternally grateful for her skillful hands and compassionate approach

I like the doctors here. Make sure this is right for you, your occupation, take necessary time off to recover, because it’s an important surgery. It will one month to reach 20/20, but less dry for sure than lasik.

You can be sure Dr. Chynn is top notch in his practice area. He has vast experience and has performed thousands of these procedures - suffice it to say I felt perfectly comfortable on D-day when he was about to begin operating on my eyes. During the days preceding my procedure I contacted the office several times with some questions. Dr. Chynn would quickly and personally get back to me, even if he was in Europe or Latin America. Two thumbs up!!

I am ecstatic with my experience at Park Avenue Lasek and the LASEK eye correction surgery! I am looking forward to no more glasses or contacts! Dr. Emil Chynn and his team were great, cordial and efficient and I was at ease the entire process. LASEK is much safer than LASIK as it is non-cutting and I am glad I chose this procedure! Thank you!

I did my Lasek in 2011 and I still see 20/20. I am happy with my procedure in this place. I remember it took a few mins to be done and I had to be off work for a few days I had to take a few pills to sleep during the whole time so my eyes could recover. I really recommend this place.

Because Dr Chynn stopped cutting LASIK flaps after he got LASIK himself & suffered from dry eyes & night glare

Because LASIK is much less safe, & they can’t risk you witnessing a flap cutting complication

Because we don’t cut flaps, it’s IMPOSSIBLE for us to have ANY major complication during surgery! Our LIVE STREAM PROVES THIS!
