I've got to give it to my Mom...this was one hell of a graduation gift. After having a really awful high school graduation experience with a family emergency, I never got to experience the freedom or joys of being out of school. Once everything calmed down, my mother decided to treat me to an eye surgery that i desperately needed. I had awful vision to say the least. I worn glasses and contacts all my life but got sick of changing them everyday and it never fixed the problem. Even with corrective lenses, I still got severe headaches and maintained difficulty seeing from afar. So one day in Febraury of 2006, me and the madre decided to head on up for a free exam at the Mann Eye Center just to see what could be done. After being told for the past 3 years that my eyes weren't strong enough for Lasik, I didn't really get my hopes up. After about an hour, Dr. Mike Mann came in and told me that they could perform a procedure on my eyes and give me close to perfect vision. I was amazed yet of course very skeptical, however my mom knew how much it meant to me so she went ahead and wrote out the check. The procedure was amazing! Using clamps, the opened my eyes and did the procedure. I saw the whole thing--strangely amazing. Now I know what its like to be on paralytics during surgery. Sweet! Of course they gave me valium to relax me. It was completely painless! In 24 hours, I had perfect vision. Even better than they originally planned for me. I had to use Rx Eye Drops for the next 30 days to let my retina and iris heal completely, but the whole thing was amazing. I highly recommend getting the treatment if you have bad vision. $4000.00 is a small investment for something so important like your eyes. I couldn't be more thankful to my mom after that.
