I had LASIK via the Mann Eye Institute about a month ago. I could not be happier. Their expertise has liberated me from the tyranny of glasses! I can see flawlessly at 20/15 (only minor starbursts are remaining, but are expected to go away). The procedure itself was totally painless, and so so easy. <br><br>They are a bit pricey, but you only get one pair of eyes. Pay the premium, get it done right! Have recommended, and would recommend again!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who didn't try to get me to do something I wasn't prepared to even discuss.

Everyone was so kind and so efficient. Most of all, Dr. Mike Mann is highly skilled in restoring vision where there are treatable conditions. His dependance on God for healing is a special blessing.

I've been wearing hard lenses contacts since I was 10 years old. I am now 21 years old. In 2012 I asked my eye doctor is Lasik was an option he recommended me to Mann Eye. I set up the appointment and less than a week later I was doing the free consultation. The staff was professional and kind of friendly. I stepped into the first room where they have the machines that check your corneal thickness and whatnot. After that I moved into the second room, i was in there for maybe 20 minutes and the Dr. came in and told me that unfortunately my eyes are not thick enough for them to do the Lasik procedure. They recommended I come back in a few years. I went home upset but I was 18 and I still had some time. Fast forward to July 2015, nearly 3 years later. I asked my eye doctor about the surgery again. This time my eye doctor said that when Mann Eye sent back their report 3 years ago they recommended ICL (implant contact lenses). I did some research on it, even watched a video of the surgery on YouTube. And so I agreed lets do another consultation. Right of the bat I spoke with Grace who let me know the cost of the surgery should I proceed. The price was very high but the surgery is necessary so I was fine. When I showed up for my consultation, again the staff was very professional and a bit more friendly. This time I went through 3 separate rooms and was there for about 2 hours. I spoke with an Intern before seeing Dr. Chin. However when Dr. Chin came in she told me that unfortunately I would not be an eligible candidate for ICL due to my age. That being because in the past they have seen that a percentage folks in my age range that get the surgery end up with complications and have to have the ICL removed. Therefore Mann Eye is very picky and selective on who gets to do the surgery and who doesn't. It was recommended that I come back in a few years, or wait until I am in my 30s. I was devastated. I wish I had know prior to coming in that it was a 90% of me not being able to do it. Because I went in thinking that 100% green light all the way They make you think that everything is going well and smooth and suddenly its like a wall coming down saying Do Not Enter. I am very upset with the way things turned out, but I do understand that getting Cataracts in your 30s in better than in your 20s. I will hopefully try again in maybe 6 years, hopefully they'll take my case at that point.
