Dr. Blecher has been actively involved in refractive surgery since 1995 and is one of the busiest cataract surgeons in the Delaware Valley, where he played an instrumental role in the introduction of modern refractive surgery.
Dr. Blecher was among the Delaware Valley's first ophthalmic surgeons to perform LASIK following its FDA approval, and he has served as a LASIK instructor for numerous other surgeons. He is a coveted speaker who gives lectures on advances in laser vision correction nationally and internationally. Dr. Blecher has also been selected by his peers as a "Top Doc" in refractive surgery.
In 1995, Dr. Blecher underwent refractive surgery himself, an experience that has given him a keen insight into the visual needs of his patients.
Laser Eye Surgery at Philadelphia Eye Associates
At Philadelphia Eye Associates, all patients are thoroughly examined to determine which refractive surgery option best suits their needs.
Many patients are candidates for custom wavefront-guided LASIK, a state-of-the-art procedure that takes highly accurate measurements of the corneas' curvature and creates a customized laser ablation profile for each eye.
Premium intraocular lenses — the latest technological advancement in cataract surgery — are also available. These include the ReSTOR lens, which simultaneously corrects for near, intermediate, and distance vision. Dr. Blecher uses the advanced "no needle, no stitch, no patch" technique when performing cataract surgery.
Philadelphia Eye Associates is also a full-service eye care center offering diagnosis and treatment for macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and glaucoma. Cosmetic eyelid surgery (oculoplastic surgery) is offered as well, as are Botox injections and Obagi skin care. All of the surgeons at Philadelphia Eye Associates have undergone rigorous surgical training at either the world-renowned Wills Eye Hospital or the prestigious Scheie Eye Institute.
