Dr. Motwani is a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Albany Medical College, and New York Medical College and has been practicing Ophthalmology and Refractive Surgery since 1998. He has been granted 2 United States Patents for his procedure and device inventions, and has published multiple peer-reviewed papers on the subject of laser vision correction, cornea laser reconstructive repair, and treatment of complex vision correction cases. He created the first procedure to make a supernormal cornea which has the potential to create a better ocular focusing system to allow for the potential of higher resolution, clearer vision. He has also been at the forefront of developing corneal laser reconstructive procedures to treat and restore vision in diseases such as keratoconus and other corneal ectasia, past surgeries with poor outcomes such as RK, LASIK, PRK, ptyrgium, and certain cataract surgeries, as well as corneal infection and trauma. Whether it’s the bobcat that tore open and damaged a cornea, the keratoconus that destroyed vision, the past LASIK that left horrible night vision, the RK that has created multiple images for decades, or just the simple correction of someone’s nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, Dr. Motwani has invented or improved procedures to successfully treat them all. He is the only surgeon in the United States to perform all of these types of procedures, and continues to advance the state of his art through his research.

Wavelight Contoura Topographic Guided Laser System using the LYRA Protocol is a revolution in vision correction. For the first time ever, we can create eyes with the potential to be better than the normal human eye.

The idea of directly strengthening the weakened cornea came from Theo Siler, M.D. one of the most brilliant minds in the ophthalmology world. In 2003 he created the Dresden Protocol.
A. John Kanellopoulos, another brilliant mind in the field of ophthalmology, then combined Corneal Cross Linking with topographic guided ablation and called it the Athens Protocol.
This revolutionized the treatment of corneal ectasia, and now this treatment is the gold standard in the rest of the world for the treatment of keratoconus and other forms of corneal ectasia.

There are many myths associated with LASIK Laser Eye Surgery. Some of the most common misconceptions are: Vision gets worse with age, so you have to get LASIK again later in life; if you wait a few years, LASIK will be cheaper; Astigmatism can’t be cured with LASIK; and, if you get LASIK you will need to begin using reading glasses.
