It has been such a busy morning I don’t even know where to begin! I had my consultation at Mann Eye this AM and everyone there was very helpful. I am a good lasik candidate! I’m going to try and put up some of my eye scans/pictures tomorrow so you can see how precise they are and how you go through a very strategic screening process to determine if you are a good lasik candidate. Although it’s time consuming it puts me at ease knowing how thorough and detailed everyone is at Mann Eye. I feel confident in this lasik procedure (although there are always constant butterflies in my stomach just because we are talking about my eyes now!). I have so much to gain from this lasik procedure and am confident in whom I have chosen to trust my eyes to. Last Thursday was my last day to wear my contacts. they told me that I have to wear my glasses for 2 weeks prior to my scheduled procedure time. They also told me that they will re-run the tests/eye scans the morning of my procedure to double check everything and make sure that my correction is the same as before. Sometimes your eyes can adjust during the 2 weeks in your glasses and they just want to make sure everything is the same. That is good and makes me feel comfortable with all the checks and balances!
Of course they know that I have some anxiety about having someone work on my eyes, but everyone that I dealt with at Mann Eye has done their best to calm my nerves and make this the best experience possible. Lasik is a big decision and I feel like the one thing that usually holds someone back is their emotions and their nerves. That’s why it’s so very important to find a good doctor and someone you can trust. You trust them and you trust the technology that they’re using. I strongly recommend Mann Eye and believe that I’m in good hands. From the pre-screening to the procedure to the post-procedure follow-ups they have me covered. I have scheduled my lasik procedure for a Friday morning and have my follow-up appointment the next Saturday morning. Mann Eye has been very flexible with my schedule and found how lasik fits into my life as well. Whether you’re doing lasik because you have terrible vision, are trying to correct a stigmatism, want to be able to see when you swim/snorkel/scuba or want to be able to see your significant other when you wake up in the morning- there are numerous reasons why you should consider lasik, but for me I have realized that this is something I am doing to help improve my life and my lifestyle. Lasik will change the way I operate on a daily procedure- change it for the better! If lasik can change every day of your life for the better then why wouldn’t you do it? I’m not a doctor nor am I am scientist- I’m an average person who wants to be able to live life to its fullest. I know you want to too!!! So find a doctor you trust and if you have any questions about lasik I highly recommend Mann Eye and believe that they will be able to answer any question you have. There are no bad questions when it comes to your eyes- feel free to call and ask- that’s what I did!
Talk to you tomorrow and have a great rest of your day!
