Dr Manoj Motwani, MD San Diego, CA
Motwani LASIK Institute and Cornea Revolution are based on Dr. Motwani’s over two decades of laser vision correction experience and his extensive research on creating perfect, uniform corneas with the potential for “super-vision,” as well as repairing corneas damaged by past surgery, trauma, or disease. This has led to multiple peer-reviewed original research publications and multiple patents in laser vision correction systems, with research work ongoing.
Dr. Motwani strongly believes the restoration of vision in those who have lost it for corneal reasons is his legacy, as his work to make better than normal human vision to improve people’s lives. He sees his work not just as his career, but his calling. His personal journey started not long after he arrived in the United States from India at the age of 6, as by 8 he was already in glasses and progressed over the years to -10.00 diopters of myopia. Being also born with thinner than average corneas, this presented a technical challenge that led him down the path during his career towards creating procedures to safely fix his own eyes, and used that knowledge to make complex procedures safer and more accessible for patients.
LASIK: A Story of Dr. Motwani's Eyes
Since I was in third grade I have worn glasses. My prescription quickly worsened, and my glasses quickly got thicker. After being called “four eyes” and being bullied for years, I finally got contacts in 10th grade My prescription quickly worsened to over a -9.00 in my right eye, and over a -10.00 in my left eye, with astigmatism in both eyes.
This played a big part in my decision to pursue a career in ophthalmology, which required a lot of work and preparation. I was driven by my need to do something about my own eyes. When I finally finished my ophthalmology residency, the excimer laser for refractive surgery has been approved for correction of eyes just two years before. It was a new field, and finding proper training in the United States was extremely difficult. It was a brand new field, one that was being invented and developed from the ground up, and it was a very different language than just normal ophthalmology. I then went and got one of the best refractive surgeons in the world at that time, Dr. Enrique Suarez of Caracas, Venezuela to allow me to come and learn with him. He was doing more LASIK in a day than many doctors were performing in a month in the United States. I was absolutely determined to become so good at laser eye surgery that I could perfect the techniques to fix my own complicated eyes.
But, I didn’t have enough corneal tissue to correct my eyes with LASIK, not even the thin-flap LASIK that became available a few years later. PRK could be done, but my high correction would result in very high amounts of haze and regression. On top of that, there were serious problems with performing very high prescriptions and getting bad night glare, halos, and loss of contrast sensitivity.
I obtained the equipment and learned the technique of Epi-Lasik, and performed it on many people in my own position. I also decided with the advances in PRK haze control, pain control, and accuracy, I would have my laser performed as PRK in two parts to avoid the haze and regression issues. The results were amazing.
To me, this surgery has been a no-brainer, and the monovision has been even a bigger no-brainer. I have no problems driving at night, I don’t use readers for anything, and the Restasis has taken away the dry eyes I had. My only regret is that it took me so many years to have it done.
