I had Lasik surgery 3 days ago at the Mann Eye Institute in Sugar Land. My surgeon was Brian Wright, with Joseph Janes as optometrist and Amy Peebles as surgical counsel. Jeremy Benson as clinic administrator was super helpful. I can't tell you how pleased I am with everything, and how smoothly the whole thing went. First I should mention that I first tried to have this done at the crappy "discount" Lasik Vision Institute and that was a very bad idea. Comparing the 2 places is like night and day, and I am so happy that I ended up with the Mann Eye institute. They were slightly more expensive but worth every penny.I did a lot more research after my first mistake, watched tons of scary videos and read all the horror stories and I was still extremely nervous about having this procedure done at all. However with my high nearsighted prescription and lifelong bad vision (-10), I really wanted to fix my vision for good. But it seemed so risky because my job is completely dependent on having good vision, since I am a visual designer. I didn't want to take any chances.Dr. Janes gave me contacts to show exactly what the monovision prescription would look like so I was able to try it out for a day just to make sure it was right.I didn't experience any significant wait time at any of my 4 appointments so far. I don't think I ever waited more than 5 minutes in the waiting room. That is really the least of my concerns, but a MAJOR difference from the Lasik Vision where I had to wait hours and hours for anything to happen.The procedure itself was better than expected, the surgeon was extremely helpful and told me everything I needed to know to make it successful. After 3 days I am already seeing incredibly well and expect my near vision to improve within a month. My far vision is already amazingly clear. I didn't have any pain and had very little discomfort even the day it was done. I followed everything to the letter on the after care and there have been no issues. I have little to no "halo" effect and driving at night is not a problem at all.I would like to thank Amy Peebles the most, because she helped me get through the surgery without chickening out or messing anything up. She actually held my hand the whole time probably at some discomfort to herself.Everyone on the staff was great. I am sending the rest of my nearsighted/astigmatic family to this office for their regular exams for contacts and glasses - possibly surgery when they are ready for it. I have ZERO complaints for the sugar land office, and loads of praise for them all.
