    I could go on and on about how fantastic Mann Eye is and how wonderful my LASIK experience has been, but everyone else has already done that. So instead, I'm gonna give you the 411 on what to expect from start to finish. Because you know, that's the part that nobody really talks about.On the day of the consultation, you'll be there for about 1.5 hours. They will check every little square millimeter of your eyeballs with every machine known to mankind. Seriously. They check your prescription. They check your corneal thickness. They check your eye pressure. They dilate your eyes. They poke you with needles. JUST KIDDING! There's no needles. Just bright lights and eye drops. It's a breeze!Once you've decided to put your big girl panties on and schedule the surgery, they tell you when to stop wearing your contacts. For me, it was 4 days before my surgery which meant 4 days at work in really nerdy glasses. But that's perfectly ok because all the articles I read online said I would have to wear glasses for 2 weeks. Needless to say, I was a happy camper with just 4 days.On the day of surgery, you'll be there for about 1.5 to 2 hours. The first thing they do is check your eyeballs again. Did your prescription change? Is your pressure ok? Are your corneas still nice and thick? You know, the whole measure twice cut once concept. Then they give you some Valium and Ibuprofen (hello, new favorite feeling) plus a warm cookie and put you in a waiting room for the drugs to kick in. When they take you back to the surgery room, there's a bed with two scary looking machines on either side. This is where the magic happens.The first machine cuts your corneal flap and the second machine zaps your vision back to perfection. Now I knew going in there that I would feel "pressure" when they cut the flap, but oh man I was so not ready for that kind of pressure. It didn't hurt, but it was very, very uncomfortable. The good news is it only lasted about 5-10 seconds so it's over before you realize how much it sucks. Once the flap is cut, they tell you to focus on the red light (or maybe the green light, I can't really remember since I was in a Valium induced world of my own) and bam you're done. One eye down, one more to go. Lather, rinse, repeat. All in all, I think you're in the surgery room for maybe 6 minutes, and the actual laser part is probably 60 seconds total. Freaky fast! Jimmy John's would be proud.Once they've zapped your eyeballs, they tape these plastic shields to your face and send you home to sleep. I repeat. Go home and sleep! I couldn't fall asleep for an hour and my eyes burned like the fires of hell. So if you're going to fall asleep, then lucky you because you'll bypass feeling any discomfort at all. But if you're like me and can't sleep, then just know that the burning goes away after about 2-3 hours so just bear through it.Some tips I would recommend-1. Put your eyedrops in the refrigerator. The cold drops feel amazing when you put them in your eyes!2. If you don't want to tape the eyeshields to your face every night, then use the band from an old pair of safety goggles and fasten it to the eyeshields. The shields have little slits all over so it's super easy to ghetto-rig them into goggles.3. I know your momma told you not to trust strangers on the internet, but TRUST ME. Your nerves are going to be the worst part of the whole thing. The actual surgery is a piece of cake and the recovery is the ice cream on top. It's easy peasy!Shout out to Dr. Paul Mann for being the best dang surgeon on the planet! You da mann (lol get it?)

    I came here after being diagnosed with keratoconus and loved it. All the staff were VERY friendly and open to answering any questions, I was also taken care of quickly and had their undivided attention.However, after the visit we met with a counselor, Paige, who was supposed to answer questions about the procedure I was going to have done and the insurance coverage on it, She didn't know not one answer and left the office on three separate occasions to get answers for literally ALL of the questions we asked. She ended up bringing in a different guy who helped. Another occasion was about two weeks before my procedure I called with a couple questions and was directed to Paige. I was told to leave a voicemail if she didn't answer so I did,leaving my phone number as well, Out of the 7 voicemail's I left she has still not called me back not once. I finally called back and after letting them know that I did not want to peak to Paige, I was directed to another lady who called me back 15 minutes after I left a voicemail and even called me later in the day to assure that I had all my questions answered. She was very helpful.
