My LASEK Eye Surgery
So I.m a filmmaker and yet my first contribution is a video of my LASEK (Not LASIK) surgery. I had my surgery done at Park Avenue Laser in NYC by Dr. Emil Chynn who I highly recommend if you.re thinking about the surgery. It.s four days later and I.m still a little blurry, but hey, I was able to edit this video together and upload it, so there.s progress.

Yeah - except I don’t really care about the incentive. I would tell you if Dr. Chynn was a bad doctor - He’s a little aloof and somewhat odd - but as an eye surgeon he’s pretty top notch. I had dry eye for a while, but Dr. Chynn gave me a permanent punctual plug that has worked wonders. I would certainly recommend him financial incentive or not…trust me, even with the discount - if he fucked up my eyes, you’d know about it
- I see great..20/20…and recommend Dr. Chynn

American Medical Association, Report of the Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs: Physicians should not offer financial incentives or other valuable consideration to patients in exchange for recruitment of other patients. Such incentives can distort the information that patients provide to potential patients, thus distorting the expectations of potential patients and compromising the trust that is the foundation of the patient physician relationship.

(Continued)
How serious of an attempt was made to lift an intact flap is another matter, something only the surgeon can answer. If I were considering such a procedure I would definitely ask the surgeon what percentage of his LASEK surgeries end up as PRKs - since it seems the LASEK protocol calls only for an *attempt* at lifting the flap. Not to cast dispersions, but there are a number of LASEK surgery videos posted here from patients of this doctor - all I have seen show PRK results.

OK, I should clarify here after a little more research into the subject. This is an *attempted* LASEK procedure which ended up as a PRK. Alcohol solution was used to loosen the epithium, indicating LASEK. According to what I have read, if the epithelium does not come up intact, it is removed and the procedure becomes a PRK. This is standard procedure for LASEK, not a “mistake”. The attempt was made, but was not successful so in essence this ended up being a PRK procedure.

You had surgery on YOUR EYES and don’t even know what you had done. And you are calling other people “morons”? I’m glad your surgery went well, but please try to be a little more polite toward those who are trying to wade through all the disinformation out there - including yours.

This is definitely not LASEK, it is PRK.
In PRK the epithelium is removed (it grows back). In LASEK a very thin flap (@ 50um) is created in the epithieal layer (as opposed to the 100-150um flap in the stroma for LASIK), but the flap is placed back on the eye.
There is nothing “wrong” with PRK. It is generally performed on patients whose corneas are too thin for LASIK. The drawback is the possibility of infection and the long, uncomfortable recovery time while the epithelium grows back.

Thanks for posting this vid. Any dryness or loss of best corrected vision? I am seriously considering going to Dr. Chynn for the procedure.

You were AWAKE!?! Did it hurt O_o?

Ugh….you people are morons. It’s a combination of Lasek and PRK. In Lasek there is a flap created, and in PRK it is totally removed, but unlike PRK, there is an alcohol solution used in my procedure…it is neither one nor the other, it was advertised as “lasek” and so that’s the title of the video even though then entire epithelium is removed. On another note, I’m seeing better than 20/20 now, so who cares what procedure it was!
