    My eyes, my poor eyesight is no longer an issue! I can see clearly 1 day after my LASIK surgery and I am sooo happy!<br><br>I consulted 3 places in Austin, all of them telling me I am a great candidate and prices all within the same range give or take ~$100-$200 but ultimately chose Mann Eye because I felt like the people working there as well as the facilities were much cooler and neater for the same price point! Courtney at the arboretum office quoted me$2500 each eye + $195 diagnostic fee with 5% off from my vision insurance was amazingly awesome with $1000 in house discount. Total was $3985 put on my credit card for rewards points to pay off instantly but if you don't have the full amount to pay, they certainly can help with financing through Care Credit. I went to the Arboretum location for my initial consults but for the pre-op, surgery and post-op visits, they were all at the South Central location. (FYI: they're serious about not parking anywhere in the garage with "reserved" signs posted in the parking spots there so make sure to look carefully!)<br><br>I was at a -7 in both my left and right eye with -2.50/-1.75 astigmatism and 1 day after I can see pretty amazingly with my right eye but my left eye still being a bit fuzzy. One concern I had initially that went away was I never got to talk to Dr. Mann before the surgery but on the day of he was around and introducing himself to everyone before the surgery was to be done. They have many other doctors around to facilitate and check in on their patients progress but Dr. Mike Mann or Dr. Paul Mann with be your final surgical Doctor. Dr. Paul Mann operated on me and he let me know as a fellow Houstonian that him and his father switch off doing surgeries in Austin and Houston every other week to do them! Surgeries are done Thursday's and Friday's so you can rest easy through the weekend and they do 1 day post op check up on you Saturday morning when you do surgeries on Friday. I picked Friday afternoon so I could still work the morning of my surgery day. <br><br>My husband watches me get my procedure done and then drove me home so I could take a nap before my anesthesia in my eyes wore off. During the surgery I was very worried but they provide you with Valium and ibuprofen 800mg so you'll be fine during the surgery. The first machine they move you under is the laser that makes the incision for your cornea, right then left for me. My left eye I struggled with them inserting the suction so my eyeball wouldn't move and thus caused some minor redding to occur as my blood vessels there bruised. Then to the other laser to correct my vision and astigmatism and each eye was 24 seconds, I could smell something burning while the second laser did its work but I read about this with others so I was prepared. In the background during all this is happening, I heard the medical assistants reading numbers aloud and Dr. Mann also talking reading the metrics. After my left eye finished everyone was awesome and congratulated me on my successful operation!!! Laying down in the room was cold so I was glad that I came in long sleeves, but they provided me with a cute pink fuzzy stuffed elephant, Jenny, to hold onto and a thick blanket to cover me as well as a cushion under my knees so my legs wouldn't be tired. They are seriously thoughtful and I appreciated every little thing. Kristin at the South Central location checked me in and beamed with smiles and regaled me with her own personal journey of going under which definitely helped me on the day of surgery feeling nervous. I know folks are wary of Mann eye being a machine and churning in and out people going in surgery and out those day but honestly you are taken care of and each patient is seen and given the amount of time necessary and they don't rush you! No backlog so all was great!<br><br>Handing me back my glasses and my goodie bag of sunglasses to wear and all my eye drops and instructions, everything was good to go! As someone with a heavy prescription I was very worried and afraid something would go wrong but everything I had concerns about were alleviated easily and I am so happy I made this choice. I will continue to update as I continue on with my next 1 week post-op visit and so on as they do them frequently to ensure you are healing as expected. <br><br>Oh, and enhancements and fixes will be covered up to 2 years from your surgery date so long as you make all your check in appointments which is really neat! Aside from some starbursts and light sensitivity at the moment 1 day after surgery, I am beaming with joy!! It's only going to get better from here on out and I'm so stoked!!!! Ps. If you're considering LASIK, feel free to message me and let's chat! I did a ton of research before I made the plunge because I knew my prescription was high and I wanted to make sure this was the best choice of my life I'd have to make!<br><br>Thank you Mann Eye team for this wonderful experience and new eyes you've given me!

    Mann Eye is awesome! I definitely recommend going there for Lasik! I got mine done just last week. They have the best lasers and were the only place able to perform Lasik on me due to my thinner corneas. All the staff is very nice, professional, warm and welcoming. They are as excited for you as you are to enjoy life without glasses and contacts. I did my research, compared to other places and asked a lot of questions. They are always detailed in their answers. They are confident and comforted me throughout the entire process, from the consultation to the actual quick surgery, and continue to provide great service for my post-op appointments. My eyesight was very bad. I can't believe, because of their technology, I can see everything now! and it only took a few minutes! Mann Eye has made my dream come true!

    I moved to Austin 10 years ago. When I lived in Houston, I went to (what was then called) the Mann/Berkeley Eye Center (it then changed to just Berkeley). Not knowing where to find a good eye doctor in Austin, I went with Texan Eye. I wish I'd known about Mann Eye instead; I would have been going here all this time. Unlike Texan Eye, Mann is clean and efficient. I felt like the people there really cared about me and wanted me to be a patient. I was seen quickly and was able to ask the doctor all my questions. I had Lasik surgery about 15 or so years ago (and, if anyone is not sure if they want to get it, DO!!! It's the most incredible thing EVER!), and the doctor I saw today was able to make sure that all was still well with my eyes and my vision. I really cannot recommend this place enough. Another reviewer said, "I really think there should be more than five stars for an organization that gives you perfect eyesight." And I have to agree with that reviewer. And I'd take it even further. I'd give Mann Eye more than 5 stars for their personable, friendly people and their attention to my vision - something I take very seriously.

    I had Lasik done by Dr. Mike Mann 12 years ago at 28, & only wish I'd done it sooner. Every person on staff was warm, encouraging, helpful, and seemed genuinely concerned that my experience be as perfect as possible.<br><br>If you are considering Lasik, Mann Eye is the way to go!

    Just had Lasik done yesterday and I feel great and my vision is perfect. The office staff are awesome and do a great job at making you feel comfortable and welcome . I've never waited longer than 5 minutes to be seen and couldn't have asked for a better overall experience.
