Its been about 6 months since my LASIK procedure with Mann Eye, and I have to say I am very happy with the results. Its so simple and straight forward its hard to believe more people dont do the procedure. brbrThe facility they run in the museum district is run very well. Everyone seems to be on top of their game, and everything is very efficient. I cant stress how much I appreciate that.brbrNow. I feel like theres a disclaimer thats needed for those seeking this procedure, but you wont really hear from any source. (I didnt) During the actual procedure you are of course awake, but they dont tell you whats going on at all. Its just lie down then they (the staff) all start talking amongst themselves as though you are catatonic. You look at something; then theres a suction cup being attached to your eye and a burning smell (no pain, but WTF). Then, turns out youre not done yet so theres another super disco-y light you look at when the surgeon presumably sticks a tool in recently burned eye and...bryou go blind.brbrYes. You go blind. Its like 15 seconds total, if that. But the fact that no one warned me it was coming freaked me the frack out. It was like... ok, i can do this, i can do this, no big deal, OMG YOU MESSED UP?brbrTurns out everything is fine. Now you know what youre getting into.brbrOh, and I dont know if its possible, but if you already have a dry-ish eye beforehand request to get your dry eye drop prescription immediately after surgery so you can start pronto. The free eye drops they give you dont do anything.

I went from a -11 to 20/20 in one afternoon. Dr Green, you are amazing!The staff is extremely thorough in pre-op procedure; they made sure I got all the information and what to expect during and after. These are also the nicest and caring people in the world. I was given follow calls on a regular basis the first few days just to make sure I am doing OK, and I am! Great work Guys and Gals!

I am soooo glad I went to Mann Eye Institute!! I was a little nervous before my lasik procedure but the entire staff including Dr. Mann made me feel at ease. At my initial consultation I felt like I was at the right place. The entire process was very professional and efficient. Now that Ive had the procedure I couldnt be happier!!! Im seeing 20/15 and its only been 1 week! Thanks Mann Eye for changing my life!

In my years of utilizing Yelp to find the best spots in town, I dont think Ive ever once written a review. Mann Eye Institute is beyond deserving of 5 stars.brbrI was browsing Groupon one day for a deal on a massage when I came across Mann Eyes deal. I had a friend whod just had LASIK done days before and it got me wishing for it again. But I grew up blue collar and Ill die blue collar; theres no way Id ever be able to afford LASIK!brbrDespite my financial shortcomings, I called up for a free consultation; that way, Id at least know if my dream was possible, that I was eligible to get LASIK.brbrI walked in to be greeted by theee friendliest front desk Ive 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; theyd 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* Ive 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.brbrLo 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.brbrFlash 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, Im 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.brbrLASIK day I expected myself to be a ball of anxiety. Im 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.brbrI was only able to sleep for 2 hours when I got home (they recommend at least 3), but I was too excited. I still mustve 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 Chuys (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?!).brbrAll in all, I dont think I couldve had a better experience. I never felt like I was just another patient when I walked in, and still cant get over the fact that I CAN SEE. MY EYES WORK. ITS FABULOUS.brbrI love you, Mann Eye!

Its hard to believe that a week ago I was in glasses, getting a little nervous about my LASIK procedure...my eyes have adjusted well to perfect 20/20 vision and that is in large part because of the care and preparation by the Mann Eye Institute and Laser Center in Sugar Land. The first step is the free consultation you can set up online...they were so friendly and welcoming and the consultation is very similar to most eye exams. They then told me I was a great candidate and from there I met with Polly, the counselor. There was no pressure to sign up for an appointment for LASIK, they give you options, explain financing and answer all the questions you may have! From there they preparation for the procedure was made very easy because the entire staff make themselves available and Polly did a follow up call with me a week prior to my LASIK procedure to give me words of encouragement and review the steps that were in the folder they give you. The day of the LASIK procedure went by so quickly. Everyone makes you feel relaxed. And Dr. Wright is the best! He came highly recommended by a friend of mine who works for an ophthalmologist in the Houston area. He answers all your questions and calmly walks you through the process. The follow up appointment the following day, went smoothly also and they give you advice and calm you down when you think youll live in the haze for the rest of your life (it goes away, I promise!). Their appointment system reminds you via email, text and phone call so there is no excuse for missing an appointment or having the opportunity to reschedule. They make it easy for people...which makes sense, your eyes are so important to your every day life and it is a little unnerving to trust strangers with your sight, but they are like a family and are very supportive of all patients who walk through their doors. I could not ask for a better LASIK experience. And everyone asks if Id recommend it, and I say yes but only if you go to Mann Eye Institute in Sugar Land!
