Mark Blecher, MD - Gives FREE Consultations!
Refractive Surgery is a once in a Lifetime Decision, Choose Wisely, Choose the Best.
LASIK can truly change your life. You can experience the freedom of seeing clearly when playing sports, swimming, even something as simple as seeing the alarm clock when getting up in the morning.
Our commitment is to the best surgery, not the cheapest.
Dr. Blecher's skilled hands and knowledge in the field of refractive/laser eye surgery have completely changed my life!!
I could only see blurs of color (no forms, shapes, letters, etc.) without my contact lenses or glasses before the surgery, but am now close to 20/20 vision after having my surgery. He was both professional and personable before, during, and after my surgery and I feel incredibly grateful for the man!!!!
THANK YOU Dr. Blecher!!!!!!!!!!! :))))

LASIK is an investment that does not lose it’s value. It’s the best kind of investment: an investment in yourself. And since you are only going to do it once, it makes great sense, and great economic sense, to do it right.
We are having great success in getting financing for our patients. So if you have been thinking about LASIK, now is a great time to see if you are a candidate. And be sure to ask us if the laser center is running any special promotions, they occasionally do.
Dr. Blecher was one of the first to perform this procedure following FDA approval of the Excimer laser. He has studied with some of the most experienced LASIK surgeons in the country and has performed thousands of LASIK surgeries in the last few years. He has taught the procedure to many surgeons, and is today the medical director of Kremer/TLC laser center in Cherry Hill New Jersey where he performs the majority of his refractive surgery. He is one of the most experienced surgeons utilizing the new Intralase all laser, Custom LASIK procedure.
Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are a clouding of the natural lens of the eye which occurs in everyone at some point in their lives. When this clouding interferes with the quality of vision and begins to affect your daily activities, cataract removal is indicated.
About 50% of Americans in the age group of 65-74 have at least one cataract, and about 70% of those age 75 and over have cataracts. Simply stated, when the eye's lens becomes cloudy, light cannot be properly focused on the retina; thus, visual acuity decreases. The only cure for poor vision due to cataract is removal of the eye's lens and implantation of a new, man-made focusing device called an intraocular lens (IOL).
Many people with cataracts may experience symptoms such as:
Cloudy, fuzzy, foggy vision
Difficulty in seeing to drive, especially at night
Trouble seeing to do close work
Problems seeing television
Colors that seem dull, faded, not as bright
Frequent changes and a stronger glasses prescription
Haloes around lights
Bothersome glare
A milky white spot or cloudy spot visually apparent in the center of the eye
