Practicing in the heart of New York City for more than 20 years, Barry Chaiken, M.D. is one of the most respected ophthalmologists and surgeons in the country and has developed one of the largest private practices in the metropolitan area.

Barry Chaiken, M.D. is a graduate of Yale University and received his medical degree from Columbia University, College of Physicians & Surgeons.
Dr. Chaiken has over a decade of experience in Laser Vision Correction (LVC), and uses his proprietary 5-step AdvancedVue Approach.
This approach uses CustomVue Technology and the bladeless IntraLase method for predictable results, quick healing and a speedy return to your active lifestyle.
Dr. Chaiken's outstanding outcomes are driven by his commitment to our proprietary 5-Step AdvancedVue Approach.
Dr. Chaiken will perform a comprehensive eye exam and scan your eyes with the Oculus Pentacam.
This sophisticated diagnostic device allows Dr. Chaiken to get the clearest picture of your cornea, and determine if there are any risks to laser vision correction that are unrecognizable by any other technique.
In performing Laser Vision Correction surgery, technology, judgment and the surgeon's experience make all the difference in your results.
Dr. Chaiken combines the most innovative computer software of the WaveScan(R) with the advances of the VISX(R) STAR S4 IR Excimer Laser for your best results.
CustomVue is the process of reshaping your cornea using your individualized wavefront measurements to give you your Personal Best Vision.
If you are a candidate for CustomVue, your unique correction information is transferred from the WaveScan(R) to the VISX(R) STAR S4 IR Excimer Laser and guides the laser throughout the procedure.
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is an alternative to LASIK for people who are either not candidates for the bladeless approach or their life-style precludes LASIK.
It is a unique laser vision correction procedure that uses an excimer laser to remove a small amount of the top of the cornea in order to correct refractive errors.
This method preserves more cornea stroma making it a superior technique for patients with thin corneas.
Before LASIK was available, PRK was the most commonly performed refractive surgery procedure.
The reality of living without glasses is very compelling.
Dr. Chaiken has performed thousands of procedures for more than 14 years.
It is important to understand its risks and complications, and to choose a surgeon who is well experienced and thoroughly informative.
In our practice, Dr. Chaiken is most concerned that our patients make an informed decision, they understand the procedure and they prepare properly for it to avoid postoperative issues.
To make sure patients receive the highest standard of care, Dr. Chaiken insists that before having the LASIK procedure his patients are prescreened with a thorough evaluation, understand the procedure, know their options of surface (PRK) or IntraLASIK (using the femtosecond laser), and follow both pre- and post-laser instructions carefully.
