Dear Dr. Paysse:
I enjoyed the article about your correcting Pediatric Anisometropic Amblyopes in this week’s Eyeworld (http://www.eyeworld.org/article.php?sid=4621).
I have performed LASEK in about 2 dozen adult Amblyopes and they have all improved 1-4 lines over their preoperative best corrected visual acuity, which has not been well-reported in the literature.

Dr. Chynn informs about his procudures and his staff

Dear Lori:
You are asking about Conductive Keratoplasty, which I used to perform, but stopped doing, because of several reasons:
1. The effect is not permanent (FDA actually denied the company’s application to say it as permanent).

Modern Laser Vision Correction Far Safer than Long-Term Contact Wear.
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007
Last year’s outbreak of Fusarium Keratitis, which blinded over 100 contact lens wearers worldwide, and the current epidemic of Acathamoeba Keratitis, each linked to a different brand of contact lens solution, highlight the under-recognized but very real dangers of chronic contact lens wear.
In fact, recently published studies have shown that LASIK, the laser vision correction […] -
LASEK and Epi-LASEK is Safer
Thursday, July 19th, 2007
LASEK and Epi-LASEK are both safer than old-fashioned LASIK, as they are non-cutting, and do not cut any flap at all in your eyes! Because 90% of all LASIK complications are flap-related in some way (problem cutting the flap, replacing the flap, getting hit in the eye and having the flap dislocated, etc.), this […]
