In my years of utilizing Yelp to find the best spots in town, I don't think I've ever once written a review. Mann Eye Institute is beyond deserving of 5 stars.<br><br>I was browsing Groupon one day for a deal on a massage when I came across Mann Eye's deal. I had a friend who'd just had LASIK done days before and it got me wishing for it again. But I grew up blue collar and I'll die blue collar; there's no way I'd ever be able to afford LASIK!<br><br>Despite my financial shortcomings, I called up for a free consultation; that way, I'd at least know if my dream was possible, that I was eligible to get LASIK.<br><br>I walked in to be greeted by theee friendliest front desk I've ever approached. They got me checked in and I waited just a few moments to meet with Kevin. He explained the procedure and risks and blahblahblah, and also mentioned that financing was an option. When I brought up the Groupon, he advised me not to waste the $100; they'd just give me the price the procedure would be with the deal (less than $4k for BOTH eyes!). Since LASIK has been a (nearly) lifelong dream, I had very few questions about the procedure and side effects. I was more concerned about if I could afford to do it. He told me financing was available through CareCredit, no interest for 2 years. *GROAN* I've applied for CareCredit more than a few times, and have always been denied. Despite my wonderful experience with the staff that day, I went home feeling a bit melancholy that I would not be able to have the procedure done.<br><br>Lo and behold, the stars aligned and CareCredit actually approved me for the amount of the procedure!! I called immediately and scheduled an appointment for 3 or 4 weeks out (I had to stop wearing my contacts for at least 2 weeks before) and got super amped.<br><br>Flash forward to my pre-op appointment 2 days before; Mirta took my measurements and was wonderful, engaging, and warm. There was a bit of a geek-out session when they discovered my corneas were exactly the same measurements (what can I say, I'm a symmetrical freak of nature!). Dr. Cessac came after and talked me through what to expect on LASIK day, and Kevin came in to provide a little more detail. I felt like I was being attended to by the entire staff. The entire awesome, friendly, knowledgable, humorous staff.<br><br>LASIK day I expected myself to be a ball of anxiety. I'm not sure if it was the Valium or the staff talking me through each step, but I felt incredibly comfortable throughout the quick, painless procedure. I had been told previously to expect to be there for 1-2 hours, but I was in and out in less than 45 minutes.<br><br>I was only able to sleep for 2 hours when I got home (they recommend at least 3), but I was too excited. I still must've slept through any post-op discomfort (itching, burning), because I felt absolutely normal when I woke up (minus the cyclops goggles). I was able to still go grocery shopping, catch up on some Breaking Bad, and grab a margarita at Chuy's (all in the cyclops goggles). I drove myself to my post-op the next morning, and again was in and out in less than 15 minutes. They even gave me a little gift (fittingly, a coffee mug that reads "I heart My LASIK A Latte" and my favorite flavor of Bebop Biscotti; HOW DID THEY KNOW?!).<br><br>All in all, I don't think I could've had a better experience. I never felt like I was just another patient when I walked in, and still can't get over the fact that I CAN SEE. MY EYES WORK. IT'S FABULOUS.<br><br>I love you, Mann Eye!

UPDATE --- Still five stars after 10 months!It has now been 10 months since Dr. Wright and Tina did my lasik. I could not be more pleased with the overall experience. I have been back for all my follow up visits and they are always ontime or very close. Dr. Wright is very pleasant and knowledgeable. He always takes time to answer any questions I have.My vision is great - 20/15. I have no dry eyes, no halos, every thing is wonderful.I also referred another friend to the Mann Eye institute and she also had a great experience and she has referred others.Thanks Dr. Wright and Tina for the first class experience and the great eyesight!!!!Original review ----It is twenty-two hours after having my LASIK procedure with Dr. Wright and Tina. I am amazed at how well I am seeing! I am seeing as well as I did with my glasses or contacts and this is only 22 hours after the surgery! A few times today I tried to take off the glasses - even tho I am not wearing any! Woo hooo!Everyone at the Mann Eye Institue out in Katy has been first rate! From my extensive initial assessment with two doctors (including Dr. Mann himself!) to my pre-op visit where they retested my eyes and demonstrated "blended vision" for me. Dr. Wright and Tina spent a lot of time helping me decide what degree of Blended Vision I wanted.The procedure was virtually painless and only took 13 min in the LASIK room.Thanks to everyone at Mann and especially Dr. Wright and Tina!

The friendly and professional staff and doctors of Mann Eye Center made my LASIK experience simply wonderful. From the consultation to the surgery, every step of the process seemed effortless for this team of experts. <br><br>Dr. Mike Mann performed the procedure and I now know why he's considered to be one of the top eye surgeons in the country. The day after LASIK I was seeing 20/15!<br><br>I'm very pleased with the results. Even though LASIK at Mann costs more than some other centers, I felt more confident in going with them over some of the other choices. After all, its your eyes, and you're worth it!

After almost ten years using contact lenses, last year I suddenly became allergic to them. I tried many optometrists until I found doctor Mann. Their customer service is very impressive. Their staff really take care of you.<br>They treated my eye allergies. My eyes never felt better.<br>I had my LASIK with Dr. Mann last summer. <br>I even took my sister to get her LASIK with doctor Mann as well.<br>Mann Eye Institute exemplifies the best qualities of patient care.

My initial phone call with David was very informative. I set up an appointment for 3 weeks (no contact period) and met Kevin who was personable and very knowledgeable. The surgery went as expected and uneventful. It was quick and painless. They have the latest and most advanced technology. The results are awesome. I can see without glasses or contacts. Thanks to Kevin, Connie, and Dr Paul Mann for suggesting Blended Vision. I was reluctant to try Blended Vision but 3 days after the surgery, I have determined it is perfect for me. At 51, I was needing reading glasses occasionally, or sliding my contact to the side. With Blended Vision, I can see up close and in the distance. It didn't take any time for me to get used to it.
