Emil William Chynn (October 7, 1965) is a Chinese-American LASEK surgeon, author, researcher, and media personality. He owns the only laser vision correction center in the US specializing in Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA, comprising LASEK and epiLASEK), which unlike LASIK is a newer, safer way to correct refractive errors that does not involve cutting a flap into the cornea. Dr. Chynn has been featured in the New York Time, Wall Street Journal, on CNN and Discovery Channel, in Time Magazine online, as well as on ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox News for LASEK as well as platinum "Eye Jewelry" and corneal tattoos. Dr. Chynn has also appeared on the Howard Stern Show as one of NYC's most eligible bachelors, as well on "Millionaire Matchmaker" with abrasive reality TV matchmaker Patti Stanger.
Early life
Emil Chynn was born in Tenafly, NJ to Kuo York (York) and Marie Noelle (Noelle) Chynn, who had emigrated separately from Shanghai, China, and met in New York City.
In 1987 he received his B.A. degree in Biological Sciences at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. He received his MD from Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in 1992. He completed his transitional internship at St. Vincent's Hospital in Greenwich Village, where he helped treat the victims of the 1st World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

Career
Chynn was Director of Refractive Surgery at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan, and then on the clinical faculty of SUNY Brooklyn/Long Island College Hospital. He was a laser vision correction surgeon for TLC Laser Eye Centers. In 1999, he became the 1st eye surgeon in New York City to get LASIK himself. In 2000, he opened his own laser vision correction center, IWANT2020.com, Inc. He was a Resident Instructor and on the clinical faculty of Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital, and New York Eye & Ear Infirmary.
He was on the expert panel for Coleman Research Group and Gerson Lehrman Group. He hosted his own cable TV show about refractive surgery on Manhattan Neighborhood Network, as well as a live call-in radio show on WEVD AM in New York City.
In 2001, Chynn was the 1st MD to arrive at Ground Zero on 9/11, where set up the 1st emergency room and triage center at a Burger King across the street from the former World Trade Center.
In 2005, Chynn became the 1st laser vision correction surgeon in the New York Tri-State area to adopt exclusively Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) non-cutting LASEK and epi-LASEK techniques to treat vision problems. In 2010, Dr. Chynn successfully performed the highest ASA procedure ever performed in the US, -22.00, on a patient from China.
Media controversy
In 2013, Chynn was featured on CNN and the Howard Stern Show, where he discussed both laser vision correction and his single dating life, and offered his $100,000 Ferrari to any matchmaker, amateur or professional, who introduced him to a "nice girl if she became his wife" (offer no longer valid since he is now engaged). He appeared on Bravo TV's Millionaire Matchmaker with Patti Stanger in March 2014.
Authorship and research
Chynn is the co-author of over a dozen peer-reviewed academic studies about laser vision correction, including articles in Ophthalmology, Archives of Ophthalmology, American Journal of Ophthalmology, and British Journal of Ophthalmology, as well as over 100 non-peer-reviewed articles about a wide variety of ophthalmology topics. He has authored book chapters and is a peer-reviewer for the journal Ophthalmology.
He was Principal Investigator for the FDA trial for the 1st solid-state excimer laser by Novatec. He has presented and lectured around the world, including at AAO, ASCRS, ESCRS, and the Filatov Institute.
He is Medical Director for the only pure Refractive Fellowship program in the US that is affiliated with the San Francisco Match Program.
