The decision was made to correct one eye due to my vision. I was so shocked with being able to see so well, no blurry vision, colors were vivid. I was far sighted in one eye and near sighted in the other. I had a depth perception problem so skiing was difficult. I wish I hadn't waited so long to get this surgery. I spent years researching various providers and techniques.

I cannot praise my Dr. enough...a wonderful experience.

Helpful review?

My Doctor:

My rating:

Thorough screening and exams done twice to verify appropriate vision info prior to surgery. Staff most helpful, courteous and caring. Dr. M. was wonderful and is very ethical- he recommended against correcting both eyes due to my vision. At my age (61) I don't mind wearing drug store glasses for close up work, small print reading.

Hi Catherine -- Welcome to RealSelf's LASIK community! Thanks for writing such a great review. It sounds like the surgery was a very rewarding experience for you. Looking back, do you know why you waited so long? (I've considered it for a while too, but I'm afraid of having something that close to my eyes!)

Hi Sharon, yes I waited for 2 reasons ...one was just plain fear and the other was the cost. Waiting wasn't such a bad decision though, as the technology improved greatly and Dr. Manger's methodology was perfect for me. Do it...!

Oh, Sharon, I forgot. You can contact Saddleback Eye Center and they will send you a DVD of the procedure....it might help your decision.

Or scare me away. ;) Just kidding! I might do that. I've seen some photos but a video would certainly give anyone a better understanding of what happens.
