Meet Doctor Motwani, San Diego's Lasik Doctor

Recognized as the foremost Lasik surgeon in San Diego, Dr. Motwani is also considered an authority in the field with his advanced laser techniques, including those he personally developed.

Dr. Motwani is licensed to perform medicine and surgery in three states: California, New York, and Florida. He is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Medical Association, the International Society of Refractive Surgery, and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.

An Early Pioneer in Laser Eye Surgery

Although Dr. Motwani initially certified and started performing LASIK on broad-beam lasers, he was one of the early adopters of the Nidek EC-5000 scanning slit laser technology. He has continued to be on the forefront of techniques with this advanced laser system, and has had excellent results in the use of wide reshaping zones to minimize halos and night glare, treatment of high astigmatism, and repair of eyes with prior refractive procedures.

Dr. Motwani was also an early adopter of Moria microkeratome systems, the flap making devices used by many leading refractive surgeons. Dr. Motwani used the original Moria LSK One, which although one of the most technically challenging microkeratomes for the surgeon, was widely considered one of the most reliable for the patient.

He was also one of the early adopters of the Carrazio-Barraquer microkeratome, which further increased the flexibility and reliability of the procedure. He has since become one of the early users of the new Moria M2 microkeratome, which has further increased the safety and reliability of corneal flap creation, and enhanced the flexibility available to the surgeon to operate on difficult and challenging eyes.

A Hands-On Difference

Dr. Motwani performs a variety of refractive procedures including PRK, LASIK, and LASEK. His personal philosophy is that he will not perform a procedure because it is the latest hype or gimmick, but will only perform those procedures that are proven to work effectively and safely, and he will always work to advance the state of the art.

This has attracted many San Diego notables to have their LASIK performed by Dr. Motwani, including over 30 San Diego physicians, many other healthcare providers such as nurses and technicians, San Diego Padres ballplayers and executives, professional and amateur athletes and coaches, prominent attorneys, firefighters, sheriffs, and police officers, military officers, and CEOs of corporations.

To ensure the safe and reliable visual outcome of these and other patients, Dr. Motwani maintains that careful pre-operative measurements must be performed with the involvement of the surgeon, and the critical post-operative care after the refractive procedure must be monitored and performed by the surgeon, a medical practice that only select few refractive surgeons are pursuing today.
