Most patients experience some discomfort for about 6 hours (like a dirty contact lens in their eye), and blurred vision following their procedure. Most patients receive a mild relaxant such as Valium prior to their surgery, so they sleep through the discomfort and wake up the next morning able to see.

After receiving your procedure at Motwani Lasik Institute, results are permanent in most cases.

Of course, the need for reading glasses will be necessary with advancing age, but that has to do with stiffening of the lens inside the eye. However, with Dr. Motwani’s vast experience and research, you can trust in the enduring benefits of your LASIK procedure

LASIK surgery involves creating a flap in the cornea to reshape it, while PRK is a surface-based procedure where the outer layer of the cornea is removed. They are general terms for procedures that access the main part of the cornea, the stroma, that can be reshaped. The stroma is covered by a clear skin layer which must either be removed (PRK), or accessed by creating a flap of a thin layer of stroma and the clear skin on top. Both surgeries correct vision, but the recovery process and candidacy may vary. Dr. Motwani performs both regularly, and has created specialized versions such as trans-epithelial topography graphic guided PRK that is utilized for corneal repair. Dr. Motwani can guide you towards the best option for your individual needs.
