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.

The treatment of trauma with topographic guided ablation is dependent on the level of scarring caused by the trauma, and the amount of corneal tissue available for correction. All repair cases must be evaluated individually.

We have a long history of performing correction of radial keratotomy, dating back to 2001. We will treat these corrections in most cases utilizing LASIK, so downtime is minimal. Enhancements can also be performed utilizing the same LASIK flap via a technique pioneered by Dr. Motwani, and downtime is again minimal.

The treatment of high myopia in many ways is significantly improved by topographic guided ablation as a much more uniform cornea with a large optical zone is created, minimizing the aberrant optics that lead to poor night vision.

Laser Reconstructive Corneal Repair became possible in the United States when it topographic guided ablation was FDA approved. This type of procedure selectively removes irregularities in the cornea, which is the main focusing part of the eye. Irregularity and warpage that has been caused to the cornea can now be corrected by reconstructing the cornea rather than just correcting it.

Patients who have had prior refractive procedures of any sort- LASIK, PRK, Radial Keratotomy (RK), or AK- can be repaired at Motwani Lasik Institute. Dr. Motwani has extensive experience repairing prior refractive procedures, having repaired virtually any type of sub-optimal outcome.

Corneal transplant reconstructive laser repair via topographic guided ablation has resulted in significant visual improvement by creating a new, more uniform surface on the corneal transplant. This allows for restoration of clear vision without disabling visual irregularities

Cataract Surgery is the most performed surgical procedure in the United States and has a phenomenal track record for improving vision. The most common surgical approach creates surgical incisions in the peripheral cornea.
