Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) for nervous eye surgery patients
Park Avenue Laser offers nervous patients the opportunity to request laser eye surgery with nitrous oxide.
Park Avenue Laser Vision is known as the laser center in New York City, always at the forefront of new advances, which is why we are the only laser vision center in New York City who can make the following claims:
1. The only center to do a FDA study of first solid-state laser (1998)
2. The first laser center to switch to 100% non-cutting surgery (2003)
3. The first laser center to perform CustomVue MonoVision in order to get rid of reading glasses (2008)
We always give all of our patients Valium to help calm anxiousness, and Neurontin (gabapentin), to prevent any discomfort. And now we are currently the first, and only, laser vision correction center in New York City to offer Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) for our patients.
If you have been wanting eye surgery but have waited only because you thought that you would “get crazy” under the laser, then this is for you! We have ordered the latest, $5,000 NO2 regulator, to safely and comfortably sedate you, so you will feel comfortable during the surgery.
Please call us at 212-741-8628 with any questions. Our entire staff has had laser vision correction themselves and is well prepared to answer all and any of your questions from a patient perspective.
(Please note that there will be a small additional charge of $100 if you elect to receive nitrous oxide)
