OK, so I was the biggest skeptic of this new technology but I am so thankful I finally decided to do it. The hardest part was literally willing myself to go into the appointment surgery morning. I got my eyes done by Dr. Mann Sr. and he was a great doc to have. He has wonderful bedside manner to calm you down and talks you through the entire process. He truly is amazing at what he does, especially when you watch the video of your surgery it. The video will make you cringe but amazed that you didn't feel any pain! The most uncomfortable part for me was when they held my eyes open for the first eye, it felt a little rough but the second eye was a breeze. You lay down, look at the light, things happen very quickly, and somehow you're walking out of the room. Luckily Mann Eye has a financing option or this would not have been possible for me. I went from not being able to see the classroom board sitting five feet away to how seeing 20/15. Maybe I can be one of the cool kids sitting in the back now haha. If you're scared but super over the fact that you aren't functional without your glasses take the leap! This place is professional and will not let you wait around their office long. My appointments were all on time and efficient. Surgery day I was only there for an hour and a half. After the procedure I came home, passed out, and when I woke up I was already cooking and doing everything I had planned to put off that night. I am a believer. This is truly a life hanging experience. The investment will pay off through work, school, driving, a walk in the park etc etc. I hope this review gives you an idea of how all this works but feel free to message me for specifics. Good luck!

I hate the annoyance and discomfort of contacts and glasses, so decided I would investigate Lasix. I heard the advertising campaigns on the radio and thought I would try it. Superb customer service. I felt very safe and well prepared. They fixed my vision with Lasix to PERFECT in less than 11 min. No pain! And I can even drive the next day!!! Fabulous staff and physicians. Highly recommend. There seems to be a rumor amongst the community that you have to wait a year after your first evaluation when getting Lasix, but that's not true. I went in for my first evaluation on a Monday and had my procedure that week. High grade and up-to-date machines. Financing options allow 18 months no interest. Sweet deals! I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. It is so wonderful to have done something nice for myself. Now, I can actually appreciate the high definition television on my HDTV, and I won't have to sit in the front row at Broadway shows or movie theaters. Thank you!!!

I had cataract surgery on my first eye 3 weeks ago and I can now sit here at the computer, reading the small print without any glasses. I can not wait to get my other eye taken care of next week. I have visited both the North Austin and Via Fortuna locations and have been very impressed with the staff at both. Mann appears to be a very happy place to work and the staff responds by giving the very best of care and service. Kristin at the front desk at the Via Fortuna location was especially impressive.A few years ago I took my mother to a different eye center and it was like an assembly line - not so at Mann. They treat their patients like valued guests and always seem to have enough time to answer questions. There is also a lot of support via text, e-mail and phone regarding appointments. Now about Dr Luke Barker.... well he is awesome! While I am not very religious I was still touched that he came in to say a little prayer before starting my surgery. He promised me he would do a good job and he did! The staff at the hospital were all very helpful, supportive and courteous too. All in all, something I had been dreading for years has so far turned out to be a great experience. A little pain and discomfort during the actual surgery, but it was quickly over with and I have had no problems with recovery.I am seeing better with just one good eye than I have seen in many years. Those cataracts kind of sneaked up on me and I did not realize how much I was missing.

I had my laser eye surgery in August and was consultation was prior to that in early July. From day one I felt comfortable and had full trust in Dr Beavers and Dr Mike Mann. They never tried to rush my surgery, I had some issues with dry eyes that they wanted to make sure it could be effectively managed before surgery, since it would worsen the problem. It is now March and my vision is AMAZING and no issues with dry eyes! Thank you to everyone at the North and South locations. Everyone was very friendly and comforting during the entire experience. Kristin down at the surgery center was excellent and welcoming. She really works to keep you calm and comforted on surgery day. The team in the room and Dr Mann had wonderful bedside manner and keep you informed during the entire procedure. Stephanie and David at the Braker location are all smiles and friendly from the moment you hit the top of the stairs. Each visit I have here post op is always pleasant and everyone very friendly. I would highly recommend Mann Eye Institute to anyone looking to have laser eye surgery.
