I would highly recommend Mann Eye Institute at Braker Lane for anyone seeking care for any type of eye problems or to get your annual eye appointment. In 2010 I had laser eye surgery and for YEARS afterwards I suffered from severe dry eyes. Despite seeing multiple ophthalmologists no one really listened to me long enough to really do more than suggest drops or an eye mask. When I went to see Dr. Beavers I was using multiple eye drops, multiple times an hour, fish oil twice a day (helps dry eyes), night time eye lubricant, and an eye mask at night. Despite having LASIK eye surgery I was not seeing anywhere close to 20/20 because of the blurry vision from dry eyes and my eyes were constantly red from irritation.<br><br>Earlier this year (March 2013) I went to see Dr. Beavers at Mann eye. He listened to me as I explained my long story and instead of just saying well there is nothing else I can do for you.. he thought for a minute and suggested punctal plugs to help alleviate my dry eyes. One other ophthalmologist had suggested these but did not describe them to me and I thought it would involve another surgical procedure and be very costly. Dr. Beavers explained the procedure is done in the office and is not a surgical procedure and I felt confident he really thought these would help me. He was very knowledgeable and suggested I try the temporary punctal plugs before committing to the permanent ones. <br><br>Immediately after getting the temporary plugs I felt so much relief! My vision had improved and I did not have to use any additional drops all day. Two weeks later I got the permanent punctal plugs (insurance covered almost all of the cost) and now 6 months later I do not need to use any eye drops, fish oil, or night time lubricant. <br>I want to thank Dr. Beavers and his staff so much for the wonderful care they provided. Every time I walked into the office everyone was so friendly and would remember me and ask about my family. Such a simple thing as listening to me made such a difference in my life that I just can't Dr. Beavers enough. I will be returning and have referred everyone I know to him (my husband has already been to see Dr. Beavers as well.) . If you are looking for a caring, compassionate, and fantastic ophthalmologist I would suggest you ask for Dr. Beavers at MANN eye institute. <br><br>Sincerely,<br>Whitney
