Mark Blecher, MD - Gives FREE Consultations!
Refractive Surgery is a once in a Lifetime Decision, Choose Wisely, Choose the Best.
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!!!!!!!!!!! :))))

Dr. Blecher joined Philadelphia Eye Associates, a general ophthalmology group practice in 1986 and continued his association with Wills Eye Hospital, joining the teaching staff the next year. Dr. Blecher treats a wide range of eye problems, and is also one of the busiest cataract surgeons in the Delaware Valley. He was instrumental in bringing modern refractive surgery to Wills Eye Hospital in 1990 and was one of the first to perform modern refractive surgery there. He has been actively involved in refractive surgery since, having it himself in 1995.
With the advent of LASIK, refractive surgery has taken a giant step forward and 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 and was chosen as 'Top Doc' in refractive surgery by his peers in Philadelphia Magazine.
