Because of past RK surgery, my vision was quite bad. Couldn't get an accurate prescription for cataract surgery. Dr. Motwani procedure actually repairs the cornea so now I no longer need glasses for reading or driving. I suggest you go to his website and read some of his research on treating RK patients. read more

Hello, My story: I had a 4 year journey, starting in 2018, to have my left eye cornea repaired by Dr Motwani, as I was experiencing visual disturbances and irregular astigmatism for over 15 years after a botched Lasik procedure by another surgeon in 2002. For correction, I gave up on Scleral lens fittings, back in 2003, that tried to vault over the issue of a central island and irregular shape cornea because the lense would cloud up after 4 hours of use, and besides still needed glasses over the lense to see. Dr Motwani gave me hope after a long search for a possible solution. In 2010, the famous Dr Wang of Nashville informed me that my hope for correction to my situation was topography guided and that the laser hadn't been approved yet in USA. So, I patiently waited year after year for approval. In 2018. I learned of Dr Motwani's new protocol, LYRA, and he had 2 years experience on this laser, the Alcon EX500 (former Wavelight) to perform topography guided Lasik, which was finally approved for USA by FDA in 2016, but was being used in Europe successfully for over 10 years prior. Dr Motwani tried his best to repair; however, the first Lasik attempt he performed in 2018 resulted in disaster, 5 days later, leaving me with epithelial ingrowth nightmare. Had I known prior that there was a 50/50 risk of 'epithelial ingrowth' by lifting up an existing Microkeratome created flap, that is over 3 years old, I may have declined to proceed with Lasik surgery, and gone with PRK instead. Dr Motwani, if you're reading this review, please inform patients of this risk of epithelial ingrowth, as I read other reviews with the same nightmare outcome. Thank you in advance for this consideration, sir! I had a local surgeon in Oklahoma who agreed to see me but was reluctant to lift the flap to try to wash away some of the cell invasion (epithelial ingrowth) with saline squirts. After Motwani consultation with the Oky surgeon, he agreed to attempt the cleanup of cells; however, peripherally, he was to afraid to, siting that to risky, that there would be a good chance of additional cell invasion if he lifted the flap too much, in the initial area of intrusion. It's these remaining cells that have caused my grief and aggravation. In the meantime, I continued to see my corneal specialist locally as Dr Motwani had insisted. This corneal specialist noticed that the epi ingrowth cells outside were still linked underneath the flap, that the colonization had to be unlinked, so I flew back to San Diego for another procedure. Back in California, Dr Motwani attempted to clean up, the best he could, these now solified colony of epithelial cells, alongside the flap edge, that left me with a shim of cells, raising the edge of the flap of my cornea, and now I realize that scaring must have ensued later, as a result, which I learned from my latest doctor, over 4 years later. Back home, my corneal specialist seemed pleased with the results of the cleanup. Hey, Dr. Motwani, that was great advice to keep following up with my specialist. To Dr Motwani's credit, he never abandoned me throughout this 4 year ordeal, and I owe him a debt of gratitude for that. Ironically, I don't think he would ever admit that the high spot and scaring from epi-ingrowth would have this adverse lingering effect on my vision today, which, if so, would be quite bewildering, whilst the evidence is clear that only a Scleral lense can resolve. In summary, in this bad eye, I endured in total, 2 Lasik and 5 PRK surgeries between 2018 - 2022 with Dr Motwani, and he was able to eliminate virtually all the astigmatism, on the last retry; however, visual disturbances and irregular astigmatism persists due to the remaining high spot alongside the edge of the flap with scaring, resulting in a lost of 2 lines of vision. After each surgery, I always followed up with my local specialist, bewildered that I had lost 2 lines of vision - yet I kept hoping that each additional surgery would restore it, not realizing that over coming the epithelial ingrowth was really an exercise in futility. Still looking for a solution to my dilemma, I learned that soft contact and spectacle correction was an exercise in futility, too, so I thought I would try my last hope to inquire about Scleral lenses again. So, in Oct 2022, just 4 months after my last PRK surgery with Motwani, I was informed that Scleral technology has really evolved in the last 19 years, since the last time I tried, in 2003. Well, I'm happy to report - the good news is that custom scleral lenses have advanced, and I've found a local doctor who has given my vision back. I'm so grateful! I can drive at night again! So, my advice would be, for others, considering an enhancement or repair, if you have an old flap, created with a Microkeratome, is to not lift it, IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK, but instead have Dr Motwani consider custom trans-epi PRK, 2 stage, as he is the best in my opinion. Kind regards read more

I was a 1.5 prescription for contacts for several years now and the very first day after lasik I can already see 20/15 (better than 20/20) wow! I'm so impressed they told me to wait a full week, it will get even better! The lasik took 10 minutes and I didn't feel a thing, not even an ounce of pain. I cannot believe it was so easy. My biggest regret is I didn't do this earlier. Your vision is priceless, I should have done this years ago! Cannot recommend it high enough, the staff is amazing, everyone is so cool. read more

Cornea Revolution - Front area. - Ophthalmologists Near Me - San Diego, California

I want to share how I my vision has been dramatically improved by Dr Motwani at Cornea Revolution, San Diego, CA! 28+ years ago, I underwent Radial Keratotomy to correct my highly myopic condition (6+ diopters) and acute astigmatism in both eyes before LASIK was available. My RK results were surprisingly good though nearly the maximum number of cuts were required (24 cuts in my RT eye and somewhat fewer in the LT!) After a couple of months to heal, I was mostly functional without corrective lenses. I needed help reading fine print. Driving at night was not pleasant; the 'starburst' was very distracting. After about 5 years the corneal scarring was affecting my visual acuity again; I began a slow steady decline over 2 decades. I was back to (progressive) glasses; about +2.5 in both eyes with astigmatism. My Ophthalmologist over those 20yrs referred me to Dr Motwani as a possible candidate for PRK (a laser corneal ablation technology that could smooth and reshape my cornea). Cutting to the chase, this has been a life changer! The RK scars have been largely removed and a smooth, spherical cornea surface has been restored! The laser treatments were painless and completed in less than 30 minutes. Vision in treated eyes will be distorted for a few days and there may be some minor aching sensations for about a week post op; nothing severe! No more problems driving at night! My visual acuity has been restored to about 20:40 and healing will continue to improve my vision. I do not require glasses to drive (day or night) and I can read 14 pt and larger without glasses although I like having my +2.50 'readers' with me. These dramatic improvements in about 17 months..."your mileage may vary"! But most people seeking better vision through PRK DO NOT have the significant RK scars and can probably expect full recovery significantly less time. DO NOT BE IN A HURRY! I am here to say the procedure is absolutely worth the time. If you will be one of the few needing treatment, to correct RK scarring AND visual correction issues the process will be worth it! The entire team is great. The optical techs are very capable and take their time when performing the refractions, taking pictures and making other measurements. Dr Motwani is cautious and deliberate in his surgical approach. I highly recommend Dr Motwani and the Motwani Cornea Revolution Institute for this life-changing experience. Erich H. read more

Dr. Motwani has been my doctor for over a decade. He performed a procedure on me over a decade ago that required two different types of approaches. Without my contacts or glasses, it was impossible for me to see more than a few feet in front of me. Even then, things were very blurry. Dr. Motwani took me from seeing nothing to better than 20/20 vision. Fast forward some 12 -15 years later. I am much older now and having trouble seeing cataract surgery in my left eye. Nothing was helping. No glasses or contacts allowed me to see out of it once after the surgery. I landed back at Dr. Motwani. It turned out the cataract surgery altered the shape of my cornea. Dr. Motwani rebuilt my cornea, and now I can see out of my left eye. It takes much longer for this eye surgery to heal up, but slowly my eyesight is improving. read more

i seen dr motwani a few years back for the kamera inlay i had so much trouble with it so many visits with dr motwani i finally lost faith in him and have been unable to find anyone else that would touch the situation my eyesight is on a downhill spirial and I felt as though dr motwani did not have time or patience for my eye care situation I guess I was not a high enough profile patient but my money was just as good everyday my vison is blurred and there is always discomfort it was suppose to be a quality of life procedure anything but sadly disappointed read more

Super good service, I had my eyes worked on and my wife as well, these guys do great work. I would 100% recommend them again and again. read more

Dr Motwani is the best.! Facilities are immaculate and the staff is top notch. I went to him for RK repair, and his procedure is amazing. Highly recommended. Also, Dr. Motwani is an audiophile and can help you buy the best audio gear! read more

Dr Motwani was awesome. Like anyone, having problems with my eyes was nerve-racking. He took so much time and care to help me with my damaged corneas. I am forever grateful. Highly recommend Dr. Motwani and his team to anybody out there considering LASIK, cornea repair or any other eye procedure. read more

If you're contemplating on whether or not to get lasik, I would highly recommend!! Especially getting it done by Dr. Motwani!! He's great and all staff are wonderful! I got lasik about a year ago and Dr. Motwani takes the time to make sure your healing process and vision improves. The procedure also includes all the follow ups for a year. My vision is now better than average thanks to him! The procedure itself was so quick and everyone does a great job calming your nerves. Every follow up appointment was a pleasure, literally my favorite doctor's appointment to go to lol. Genesis at the front desk is great and very friendly, G and Bridgette always prep me before seeing Dr, Motwani. I'm officially discharged now that's it's been a year and a little sad I won't be seeing the wonderful people here anymore but so grateful for an amazing experiencing!! read more

My dad had it done in 2012 he was -8.25 and a high astigmatism, plus reading glasses in his mid 60s ....still today dad has perfect vision , still doesn't need reading glasses. I had it in done 2019 in my mid 40's, -275 with a HIDDEN ASTIGMATISMS , again great success TODAY my hubby had it done this morning he only needed it for close-up vision, all done & another great success . Dr. Motwani has cutting-edge equipment, amazing staff, and many years of experience ( since 1998)! read more

See all

If you want to throw away your glasses and see the world clearer than ever before go see Dr Motwani!! I'm scared to death of Drs and medical procedures but everyone there made me so safe and cared for I was able to relax. It was super easy and fast and on top of all that it's affordable too! read more

I came here for a lasik consultation and enjoyed my experience here. Dr. Motwani and his staff were excellent and I learned a lot coming here. He taught me a lot about lasik and PRK and it was very helpful in my consultation journey. Now I'm gonna add some caveats that may bother some other patients, but didn't bother me. Dr.Motwani is a very smart guy but he is very direct and honest and that can bother some people because it can come off as rude or condescending. Nobody in this office was wearing a mask and that can also bother some people who are looking for a more medical feeling office. Like I said, none of these bothered me and these wouldn't stop me from coming here for my lasik/PRK. Ultimately it came down to price for me, as I decided to go to TJ to get mine done. I can't speak to the quality of their procedures, but the consultation was helpful and informative. read more

Dr Motwani took incredible care of my husband. My husband is 6 months post surgery for his keratoconus and the results has surpassed any of our expectations especially considering the severity. Dr Motwani was honest & very real about what to expect, zero false hope ever given just honesty and explanations. They were there for us when we returned home to Florida and anytime we had questions or concerns we always got immediate callback even from dr motwani after hours. We can't say enough great things about dr motwani and tell everyone about him. He knows what he's doing and he is one of the few who actually is here to help people. read more

Truly life-changing. I had PRK laser correction performed by Dr. Motwani April 2020. I was -3.5 in the left eye and -3.25 with high astigmatism in the right. The process was actually quite simple for me: 1. Set up an appointment and came in for a consultation and talked directly with Dr. Motwani about which procedure I wanted to have done based on my individual need. He gave me an in-depth packet of what the procedure is about and the phases of recovery specific to what procedure was done. At this time they also took multiple measurements of my eyes. 2. Appointment day. They bring me into the operating room and perform the procedure. The procedure itself was uncomfortable but easily bearable and there was no pain involved. It took about 10-15 minutes and I was done! I couldn't see much after the procedure so you better bring someone to drive you home. I then get some meds from Dr. Motwani and purchase a couple more at a local pharmacy; relatively cheap. He will give you an insurance card (if you don't have any) you can use to purchase the meds at a cheaper price 3. Recovery Phase: Oh my GOD. I wouldn't suggest having PRK done unless you REALLY need it. I was as blind as a naked mole rat for the first 3 days and felt the walls to get around the house. My eyes were very sensitive to light, so I had to keep them closed/barely open. The pain was very tolerable and Dr. Motwani provides more than enough to get through it. I only needed to use it the first two nights so I could fall asleep with my protective goggles on. After a week my vision started improving, less sensitive to light, and no pain at all. I could read, but still slightly blurry. I also was able to drive, just wear sunglasses and you're good to go. 3. NOW (5 months later): WOW PERFECT. The world has never looked so beautiful T_T. I often stare at plants and random objects now to test my visual acuity and it is AWESOME. Plus I can get punched in the face now without having my contacts fly out. I don't have to worry about getting sand in my eyes. I don't have to keep buying contact lenses, I can drink to my hearts content and not have to worry about falling asleep with contacts on. No contact lens solution; no nuthin. Ok, I digress. But seriously this is life-altering, life-changing, life-improving stuff. a BIG thank you to Dr. Motwani for providing his service along with his awesome staff. TLDR. If you're thinking about getting any kind of corrective eye surgery done (PRK..LASIK..the whole nine yards). Get it done here; Dr. Motwani thoroughly knows and understands what he is doing and you will not be disappointed. read more

I rarely write reviews.i am a physician and I went to Dr. Motwani for corrective surgery after my wife had a great experience with her lasik at this facility. His facility is amazing and everyone was very professional. Every step of the process was explained to me. I required a revision on my right eye which was performed, without any complications, and now I have perfect vision 20/15 in both eyes. Prior to this I have required corrective glasses for 25 years and had a baseline vision of around 20/200 without my glasses. I highly recommend Dr. Motwani and will continue to refer people to the facility. read more

Dr. Motwani is very professional and at the cutting edge of his field. I got Lasik surgery in both my eyes and my vision is better than perfect as well as having my lifelong astigmatism corrected. The whole experience was painless start to end and I am very glad that I went with Cornea Revolution for my Lasik surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Motwani for any Lasik needs. read more

Dr. Motwani was incredible! His staff is friendly, their process is smooth and made sure I understood everything. The procedure was easy and the follow ups were easier. My eyes are better than I could have hoped! Don't mess around with your eyeballs, you only have one pair. See Dr Motwani!!! read more

Dr. Motwani and his team are phenomenal. I have Keratoconus. Prior to my visit with Dr. Motwani 11/2022, without corrective lenses, I was unable to see the large E on the eye chart. 1 year later and my vision without corrective lenses in my left eye is 20/30 and my right eye 20/50. I never thought I would have been able to regain my vision and qualify of life. I would encourage anyone who has been diagnosed with Keratoconus see Dr. Motwani, I don't believe you will be disappointed. read more

I chose Dr. Motwani for radial keratotomy (RK) repair surgery after a years-long exploration of my options, surgical and otherwise, when I was faced with both my long-time scleral lens provider potentially retiring and several years of diminishing results with scleral lenses, which had worked fantastically for me for many years prior. I would *always* encourage anyone with post-RK problems to exhaust their scleral lens options first because, as RK patients know, anything can and does happen when you choose elective eye surgery; however, I was finding myself unfortunately in a dead end in that regard. Dr. Motwani, in my opinion, seemed to have the most defensible method for surgically correcting the unique optical problems of RK patients as evidenced by his peer-reviewed publications and patents. This was confirmed in my initial consultation with him (in 2020) when he accurately described how I saw through my RK corneas based on his reading of my scans and explained how the correction process would work as we both looked to the scans themselves. I had my repair surgery on both eyes in late 2021 (I told you it took a long time for me to make a decision!). This is the first step in what is often a 2-step process that Dr. Motwani uses to fully correct RK corneas. The first step is arguably the most critical step for the RK cornea, a PRK (surface ablation) procedure to smooth out the optics of the distorted cornea. Later an additional power correction may be performed to eliminate any residual refractive error. So far I've just had the first step. For me, the recovery from this PRK process (both eyes) was fairly painful for the first few days after surgery (probably about an 8 or 9 out of 10 on the pain scale), although Dr. Motwani noted to me that many RK corneas tend to respond less painfully on average. With some painkillers and drops I made it through the weekend after my surgery to the follow-up appointment the next Monday however, and after then I was fine pain-wise. For me, the time until my vision completely stabilized was quite lengthy, over a year, BUT I noticed immediately that almost all of the garbage night vision and glare I had endured for 30+ years with my RK was dramatically cleared up. I was also functional to drive after about a week and a half with 20/40 vision or better all the time in one eye and the other lagging a little behind. I did have a few prescription glasses changes during this time, but I was fully functional for work and driving, including at night, after 4-5 weeks or so. I was back working remotely within about a week with the help of eyedrops and some cheap online adjustable glasses from Amazon. Flash forward to today, nearly 2 years since I had the procedure, and things are looking pretty good for me. The intractable veiling glare from my RK is gone, and most tricky visual situations, such as window glare, dim light, or driving at night, where visual distortions used to crowd out nearly every single thought prior to surgery, no longer bother me, which is amazing. Both eyes are markedly improved in that regard. My right eye without correction sees as well, or slightly better than the *best* scleral lens vision I'd ever had post-RK, which translates to being able to pick off most of the 20/20 line at times (20/25 is normal now for me). My left eye still has some diurnal fluctuation thanks to the original RK and sees 20/40-ish uncorrected and corrects to 20/25 or 20/30. The original RK in that eye left me a tiny optical zone that was also decentered. It appears from scans at my local optometrist's office that the optical zone is enlarged and more centered after the correction, which has reduced my RK visual symptoms, but I still have some 1-sided starbursts in that eye and some ghosting. I re-emphasize however that vision in my left eye has definitely been improved. I also have a cataract developing in that eye which undoubtedly could be affecting my visual quality at this point. Overall, the experience has been positively life-changing for me, and I'm very glad I had it done. I would give it an overall grade of A-, and I am ecstatic about the results in my right eye, with the left eye improved but lagging a little behind. I'm seeing Dr. Motwani again soon to see if there's any opportunity for improvement in the left eye and at this point I have confidence in his ability to make adjustments if he sees a clear path. That is a big statement from me as someone who is very skeptical of laser eye surgeons in general! If I remain as is, that will be fine with me. My next step will probably be addressing the cataract in the left eye unless Dr. M sees strong indication for an additional repair step for me. read more

Came in as a life long eyeglass wearer due to an astigmatism, near-sightedness, and poor nighttime visibility with starbursts. I left with 20/15 vision in both eyes. No more squinting, no more starbursts, excellent nighttime vision, and no persistent dryness. I chose Dr. Motwani over other Lasik clinics in SD County based on a combination of Yelp reviews, price, Dr. Motwani's own published research on laser vision correction, and the actual piece of equipment they use to perform the surgery. The Yelp reviews speak for themselves. Dr. Motwani's staff are friendly, on point, and knowledgeable. The reception area is immaculate, there's a Nespresso machine, modern music playing, and you can see into the surgerical room. You can puruse the abstracts Dr. Motwani has published in peer-reviewed journals. Most of it has to do with using relatively new machines for both scanning the eye and for the surgery. In fact, I had to sign a consent waiver to use some calibration devices that are state-of-the-art and still in testing. I was happy to do this. The surgical machine itself is the fanciest available, and that is mostly what sold me on choosing this clinic. Price wise, I was disappointed that this clinic does not accept any insurance including the insurance I have purchased specifically for Lasik. However, the final quote I received matched or was cheaper than other quotes received from clinics that did accept my insurance. And that's with the insurance accounted for. So essentially, it was a competitive price at around $2,000 per eye. That includes all office visits even those I had a year after surgery for follow-up. Each visit I met with Dr. Motwani personally and for more than just a few seconds. For the surgery itself, it took I would say less than one minute for the entire procedure. It was ridiculously quick and painless. I had great verbal coaching throughout the surgery, and I believe I was even given a little stuffed animal to cuddle. For the tricky stuff, Lasik patients complain of having exacerbated dry eye syndrome. I would say that was true after surgery but as settled down after a year to where it's the same as pre-surgery. And there's no major downside to irrigating your eyes more often but it can be an annoyance. Now a year out post surgery, I don't really see any difference in eye dryness and it isn't a daily nuisance. Overall, be careful about Lasik reviews because hardly anyone has had Lasik at two or more clinics before so we don't have great comparisons. But for what I experienced, I was very pleased. Thank you team! read more

Dr Motwani saved my vision! A well-known LASIK doctor in Los Angeles had performed two off-center treatments to my eyes, resulting in light flares, halos, double vision in one eye that was disabling. After being gaslighted by the original surgeon, I was told by other surgeons that I would have to wear an uncomfortable corneal prosthetic for the rest of my life. A new eye doctor at UCLA told me there's a solution with a different laser, but he didn't know who was performing the procedure yet. I did my own research and found Dr Motwani was just a few hours away in La Jolla. Just one simple procedure eliminated nearly all the problem and my vision is restored thanks to this man. I can drive at night and am not distracted by distortions. I will only send my friends to this doctor for ANY LASIK procedure. It's worth the travel, and he truly has the best technology. Don't fall for marketing gimmicks or tunscrupulous doctors out to make a quick buck. Dr Motwani and his team are the best. read more

I underwent PRK surgery from Dr. Motwani and his staff back in August 2020. I had consultations at several different places beforehand. I decided on Motwani because he was able to get me scheduled for surgery on the same week as my call. Of course he also seemed reputable and capable based on the reviews here and my impression of meeting with him (I already had my contacts out of my eyes for several weeks as I anticipated getting this surgery so I didn't require waiting weeks between consultation and surgery). After the surgery (which is a pretty weird experience in its own right, but nothing painful and objectively extremely safe), I required four days of total rest but was back to work on Monday. I have been back to Dr. Motwani's office multiple times for check-ups and everything seems to have gone perfectly. I believe last time I was there I had 20/15 (might've been 20/20, all I know is that mentally I checked it off as being 'very good result'). I also haven't experienced any negative side effects at all (light sensitivity, halos, poor night vision, none of that). The receptionist and the tall gentleman (i think he's the head technician?) are very friendly personable people and everyone else has been great as well. Of course Dr. Motwani himself is also very personable and has been very patient answering my questions whenever I've been in for a check-up which I've appreciated a lot. Overall, it has been the exact experience and result I had hoped for when I dreamed of getting corrective eye surgery. read more

I had RK repair via cornea reconstruction with Dr. Motwani. Everything went well as promised/expected. The working staff is nice/professional. Highly recommended. read more

I had my lasik eye surgery done almost 10 years ago and I have no regrets! It was fast, though a little scary, and Dr Motwani was professional, skilled, and made me feel comfortable. I'm just driving in the area and passed by and it made me reminisce on waking up the next day to clear vision for the first time in my life. Since it's been over ten years my right eye is still 20/20, but my left has reverted (probably due to me having an astigmatism), but it's still better than what my vision was. Highly recommend! read more

Worst experience several years ago. No patient bedside manner. Then 90 days after my surgery, my vision was blurry. He re-did my right eye and I was in so much pain for several days. In the end, my vision was blurry. The money was not well spent and I had to start wearing eye glasses. Now I have scar tissue in my right eye. I was not a good candidate and he should have known that. it was a terrible experience. read more

Dr Motwani is as good as they come when it comes to eye care... I was treated for keratoconus it took me over 20 years to find the right doctor to understand and take care of my issue. Not only did Dr Motwani take care of the issue my vision has been beyond amazing I could never imagine that I would see what I'm seeing now after the procedure and the after care following my procedure the whole staff at Motwani LASIK is amazing to work with. I'm truly great full that I chose to use dr Motwani . And now Dr Motwani and myself have become very good friends. You definitely need to see Dr Motwani for any kind of eye issues you will not regret it. Simon from San Diego read more

Amazing amazing amazing! I am a nurse and could not stand my glasses fogging up anymore. From day one at my consultation to today being discharged officially after months of checkups after lasik, Motwani Lasik has been nothing but great to me. Very clean, very professional, and they make you feel very comfortable. Surgery went just as planned no complication and after all this I am 20/15. Do not hesitate book your appointment! read more

My husband and I, both of us had lasik done here and we couldn't be happier with that! Frankly speaking, we've chosen Motwani Lasik thanks to high rate on Yelp and people were right-this is the place, this is the doctor you can trust your eyes to. It's not only about the (successful) procedure, but about post-op service. You get free follow-ups, even if it's your wish. I freaked out about rubbing my eyes a couple of days after the procedure and rushed to Motwani-there was no problem with the emergency appointment and no charge, of course. It's been a year and a half for my husband and a year for me - our eyesight is great and so is our impression on Motwani Lasik. I highly recommend this facility in case you are tired of contacts or glasses and want to see the world the way you've dreamt of! It's been more than three years since the surgery and my eyesight is still 20/20. So happy I had this done! read more

My father and I both had our eyes done by Dr Motwani. My father has a degenerative retinal condition so his vision was never going to turn out perfectly, but he was still happy enough with the results to recommend and pay for my surgery. Dr. Motwani is pricey, but your eyes are not something you economize on. I'm pretty happy with my results. I was about 20/250 before and now am 20/15 under ideal conditions. The surgery itself was a breeze, not traumatic at all. There was zero pain associated with the procedure. I did experience normal pain about an hour afterwards and lasting about four hours. It felt something like a sharp headache behind my eyes. They tell you to sleep for four hours after your procedure and it would have been better if I could, but the Tylenol PM they gave me wasn't nearly strong enough to make me sleep at 11 am. For about three months after the surgery my right eye was a little funky but it settled down and is now fine. It does annoy me that my right eye used to be sharper but now my left is. It took my brain a while to adjust to that. I also get a small amount of glare when watching tv from too far away at night, but I shouldn't be doing that anyways. The small issues I've had don't compare to the quality of life improvements. Being able to see when I wake up, not worrying about losing my glasses during an accident or earthquake, seeing my feet in the shower, not having to deal with contacts, etc. I'm still looking forward to swimming in the ocean and being able to see things. One funny thing- I realized after having the surgery that I had been blaming my bad vision for not being able to see at night only to realize that it had more to do with the darkness. Lasik does not give you night vision, apparently. Lasik isn't for everyone. There are new concerns about the numbers of people who are plagued by glare and other problems. I wouldn't want the responsibility of recommending Lasik to anyone. But if you have already decided for yourself that you want Lasik, I would definitely recommend Dr. Motwani. read more

I used Dr Motwani in 2003 for my Lasik. I was pleased with my original results. However I started losing my eyesight again after approximately 10 Years. I went back to him (in 2014ish) for a consultation on getting a touch up and he charged me fees to examine my eyes. I was told all my follow up care was included in the price when he did my first Lasik. Additionally, he was so rude that I'll never use him again. When I questioned him about the fees he made me feel intimidated and irrelevant. I felt his demeanor was hostile. read more

I am a sixty eight year old male and had originally had a lasik procedure performed about eleven years ago, around 2004. I decided to have another procedure to achieve what is described as mono vision, wherein one eye is used for distance, with the other used for reading. I interviewed several doctors and ultimately chose Dr. Motwani, based on his sterling reputation, his time in business, and the fact that, after researching, I found that he employs the very finest in technology. From the first visit; from being greeted by Alex, to being examined by Gina, to interviewing with Guillermo, then finally meeting with Dr.Motwani himself, the pride, professionalism, and dedication to providing the best in care available was very, very evident. I was made to feel confident, relaxed, and encouraged, without feeling at all pressured, every step of the way. When it came time to have the procedure performed, I admit, I was a little nervous, even though this was the second lasik surgery I was to undergo. After all, it IS surgery! Well, bottom line, it was great! Nothing was rushed, the procedure went very smoothly, painlessly, and met all my expectations. I, after just a day or two, was able to see, both distance, and close-up! It's like a miracle! Now it's been almost eight months since I had my procedure. I've attended the preop care, am still treated very well by all the staff, and my admiration for Dr. Motwani has continued to escalate. He is now offering a new procedure, called Kamra, which looks very promising. I'm going to let my eyes rest for awhile but I am pretty sure that Kamra is in my future and of course, Dr. Motwani will be my surgeon. I highly recommend the Motwani Lasik Institute. read more

Just came home from my post-op appointment today (Monday); got the PRK procedure done Thursday. I'm over the moon that my vision is what it is today and will keep improving. The entire staff here is absolutely amazing. I want to specifically mention Genesis at the front desk, the assistants Guillermo and Bridgette, Dom the coordinator, and Dr. Motwani himself. I was very nervous as I'd guess most people are before any major procedure. The funny part is, I spent more time being nervous about it than the procedure actually took. The whole staff was very calming and patient throughout the whole thing, and Dr. Motwani completed my procedure in 15 minutes tops. It was completely painless. The key is just to relax and trust them (don't drink coffee right before, I made that mistake). There is obviously some discomfort after the procedure. The morning after was the least comfortable, but I wouldn't say it was painful; moreso annoying. Just feels like something is in your eyes, but the drops and meds worked great and I didn't even end up using that much pain medication. Dr. Motwani has operated on several of my friends and all of them are extremely happy, which helped me make the jump. Whether you're looking for Lasik, PRK, or corneal reconstruction (he's one of the very few doctors that can do the latter), this guy knows his stuff! Very very excited to be out of the glasses/mask fog problem as well. Drew 2.0 is ready for Summer! read more

I was well taken care of by Dr. Manoj and staff; everyone from the young ladies at the front desk, to the technicians, to the sassy office manager (who, coincidentally, happens to have outstanding taste in bracelets) were professional, competent and warm. I felt comfortable here. Though the procedure was not fun at all, I'm definitely pleased with my Lasik investment. I can see like never before (mostly) and it's terrific AF. I say "mostly" because I'm actually back here at Motwani's right now, for a lasik touch-up. Sometimes that's just necessary for some patients, unfortunately, because... eyes. Some of them, like mine, need a little extra help. Anyhow, Lasik is dope. Seeing is priceless. Do it. And don't go the bargain route when it comes to your friggin' eyes: seriously, invest in the best. Go to Motwani. Your vision is worth it. read more

Don't get lasik anywhere else but here! Two majors reasons to have your eyes done here: My 61 y/o dad had +500-150 or there about he wore glasses since 5th grade & had his lasik surgery done with Dr. Motwani three years ago & still to this day can see perfect & doesn't need reading glasses like all other 60's year olds! My Headache went away: I've been a licensed optician like the rest of my family, we owned an upscale eyeware company in La Jolla for almost #25 years, I say that- to say this... I've had the very best refractions, lenses & coating, but i ALWAYS had a low level headache that would not go away, it felt like tension sitting on the very top part of my forehead & under my skull, I found out through Dr. Motwani & his team, that I was under prescribed my whole life unintentionally We found I had -125 diopter of astigmatism in both my eyes that were HIDDEN!! Yes Hidden... Dr. Motwani has the lastest - highly advanced equipment anywhere in this country & with the 4D topigraphic evaluation, it found that hidden astigmatism, no optometrist ever found that deficiency in my eyes. After my lasik surgery & post op visits I noticed I didn't have those headaches anymore, and now three months later, I still don't have headaches! I have 20/30 vision & love this Freedom of not wearing glasses or contacts. I had a great experience, and still am with my standard follow ups. Contact me if you have any questions about my experience I'd be happy to share it with you 100% Headache Free, Thank You Motwani Lasik Center Ann Barlow read more

See all

it's been two years since I've had my surgery with Dr. Motwani and I couldn't be happier! the only upsetting thing- I wish I have done it earlier! absolutely painless, zero recovery time for me( I was back at work the next day, no issues), professional care by the doctor and every assistant. as somebody else mentioned in the previous review, the doctor does meet new patients at their first( free) consultation, which is pretty unusual! I've visited a different clinic before Motwani Laser and was never seen by a doctor, the estimate was a 1000 dollars more than what I ended up paying with Dr. Motwani, and I still had questioned left. a completely different situation with this clinic, very happy with my decision, got rid of heavy astigmatism and nearsightedness in one visit! Thank you Dr. Motwani and the team:) read more
