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.
The newest revolution in vision correction. Patients who undergo this procedure report better eyesight than they ever had before and the evidence backs it up.
We treat keratoconus, one of the highest occurring eye conditions, with a technique that is a combination of both Corneal Cross-Linking with topographic guided ablation.
Contoura PRK is the process of reshaping the corneal stroma. It is recommended for certain patients depending on their cornea’s condition.
RK, once considered a miracle procedure, has left as many as 40% of patients with significant vision problems. The Motwani Institute specialized in correcting these problems by utilizing LASIK.
This is another version of PRK that uses corneal epithelial thickness data to guide the epithelial removal via excimer laser.
Laser Reconstructive Corneal Repair via topographic guided ablation selectively removes irregularities in the cornea, reconstructing the cornea rather than just correcting it.
Epi-LASIK (or E-LASIK) is the only true flapless Lasik procedure in the world, and Dr. Motwani is one of the only surgeons qualified to perform it.
All types of trauma leave the patient with different levels of scarring on their corneas. We evaluate patients individually to determine the amount of corneal tissue available for correction via Corneal transplant reconstructive laser repair via topographic guided ablation.
The KAMRA inlay allows for a large visual field and distance vision to be maintained, all while also restoring up-close reading.
High myopia, or severe nearsightedness, is corrected by forming a much more uniform cornea with a large optical zone via topographic guided ablation.
This procedure balances the difference between the patient’s two eyes to allow the brain to neuro-adapt, optimizing overall vision and depth perception.
Corneal transplant reconstructive laser repair via topographic guided ablation restores clear vision without disabling visual irregularities.
We have always dreamed of making corneas “better than normal” and performing corrections that were superior to those made by glasses, soft contact lenses, or modifications made by conventional laser systems. Alcon WaveLight
Dr. Manoj Motwani is performing some of the most advanced, cutting edge Refractive Surgery in the world today. Specializing for 17 years in San Diego in laser vision correction, Dr. Motwani has perfected the new Contoura technology to create vision that has the potential to be better than any other vision correction modality.
