Spencer Paysinger

spencer-2I have been wanting LASIK for the past few years now and wherever I went, I heard Dr. Manger’s name mentioned. As a football player, we have to see and react instantly and I always found myself straining my eyes to see the simple things on the field.

My aunt had her surgery done at Saddleback Eye Center and told me all about the procedure as well as the whole staff. After winning Super Bowl XLVI, I knew LASIK would be my present to myself and having it done here was truly amazing. Dr. Manger and his staff knew exactly what they were doing and they make you feel right at home.

Joe B. – Saddleback Eye Center Patient

I was referred by my sister.

joeMy name is Joseph, and I’m here at Saddleback Eye going to have my LASIK procedure performed. I was referred by my sister, and sixty-five thousand is a lot of operations, so it’s definitely worth going with somebody that knows what they’re doing and has all that experience.

Dean R. – Saddleback Eye Center Patient

I’m looking forward to being able to see my golf ball.

deanMy name is Dean, and I’m at the Saddleback Eye Center, and I’m having LASIK surgery done today. I’m looking forward to being able to see my golf ball after I hit it a hundred years or more, cause once it goes past a hundred yards, I can’t see it anymore.

I’ve been listening to KFI radio for many years and heard the commercials. My eyes have deteriorated over the last ten years to the point where it has become quite a problem for me. 

Lisa L.

I’m so excited about being able to play tennis.

lisaI’m Lisa and I’m here at Dr. Manger’s LASIK clinic to have my surgery done. I probably have been thinking about it for eleven years. I am so excited about being able to play tennis and not being sweaty and have my glasses fall off my nose. This has been a very difficult year for me, and so I thought this is a year to do something great for myself.

  

John Kobylt

Getting up the nerve was the hardest part of having LASIK.

johnI want to thank you for giving me 20/15 eyesight for the first time in my life. I hadn’t seen clearly without glasses since I was a small child. Getting up the nerve was the hardest part of having LASIK. After meeting Dr. Manger, seeing his confidence and the warmth of his staff, it made me realize I was in safe hands. Saddleback Eye Center runs the best LASIK clinic in the country. My procedure took less than a half hour. It didn’t hurt and I’m seeing 20/15!

Mike Nolan – Saddleback Eye Center Patient

LASIK remains one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life!

mikeIt has been nearly 10 years since Dr. Charles Manger worked his magic on my eyes, giving me better than 20/20 vision. Yes, I know, it’s not magic, it’s skill. It’s the kind of skill that can only come from being one of the most experienced LASIK surgeons in the country. But believe me, when you first walk outside and feel the joy of incredible vision without glasses or contacts, it will seem like magic. Thank you Dr. Manger for giving me my vision back. It remains one of the best decisions I have made in my life!

Shauna J.

I don’t ever have to worry about wearing contacts again.

shaunaHi, I’m Shauna. I had my surgery around 10 months ago and I’ve had the best summer I’ve had in a very long time. I don’t ever have to worry about wearing contacts. My vision is still 20/15 after having the surgery and I’ve been enjoying every single minute of it. 

I came in for a consultation only and before I even knew it, I was having the LASIK surgery! It was so exciting! I had wanted to have this done for over 5 years and now I have perfect vision. Dr. Manger and his staff helped me with all my needs and concerns and took care of me. Now I am ready to do all the fun activities life has to offer without the worry of glasses or contacts. Thank you Dr. Manger!

                                                                                                                              

 

 

Yasmeen I.

This truly is the best gift you could give yourself.

yasmeenHi, I’m Yasmeen and I had the LASIK procedure about 8 months ago. It is the best thing that I have ever done for myself. Dr. Manger and the office staff have been exceptional. Any questions I had, they answered right away. This truly is the best gift you could give yourself. I feel so blessed that I have the freedom to enjoy life to the fullest.

Adrian R.

This is the best thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.

adrianHi, my name is Adrian. I’m a 20-year-old college student. I had my LASIK procedure with Dr. Manger 2 months ago and today I can see 20/15, which is a vast improvement from my -9.00 prescription before LASIK.

The biggest factor in my decision to have LASIK was that I’ve been tormented by glasses and contacts since I was 6 years old. Once my vision stabilized, I made the decision to have LASIK and I came to Saddleback Eye Center. I shopped around a little bit and there was no doubt in my mind once I came here. I felt safe and I felt comfortable.

Susan W.

The process was very easy and very quick.

susanHi, my name is Susan. I had my LASIK procedure about 6 months ago, and it was probably the best decision I’ve ever made. The whole process was absolutely fabulous. It was actually my husband’s idea – he made my appointment and I went to the exam.

My experience was great! I was nervous about the process, but Dr. Manger and his staff made me feel at ease. Everyone was so friendly and professional. They made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I loved having a coach at my side walking me through each step of the process.

Kirsten G. – Saddleback Eye Center Patient

If you are thinking about getting LASIK, go for it!

kirstenHi, my name is Kirsten and I had LASIK surgery with Dr. Manger about a month ago. I’ve got to say it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. I love waking up every morning and looking at my clock and being able to read it. I love that I can go on hikes now and see the trail without having to fumble with my glasses. I love that I can go to a restaurant and look up at the menu and figure out what I want without having to lean over the counter and squint. If you are thinking about getting LASIK, go for it!

JaNece S.

It’s been the best thing I have ever done for myself.

janeceHi, my name is JaNece. Having Dr. Manger perform my LASIK surgery was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I didn’t need glasses for most of my life, but within about a year my eyes changed and I needed bifocals. After wearing glasses for four years, that was enough for me.

I was so impressed by the professional and efficient way Dr. Manger’s office operated. It was a painless procedure and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I had the monovision procedure and the staff walked me through it every step of the way. I would recommend Dr. Manger to anyone who wants great vision and doesn’t want to live with the hassles of glasses or contacts.

Gima H.

My life has changed tremendously.

gimaHi, I’m Gima and I’m a patient of Dr. Manger’s. I went through LASIK eye surgery about one month ago and I’ve been very happy since I got it done.

I had heard about Dr. Manger through the radio and through ads, but also I had heard so many great things about him that I decided to come in just for a consultation. I ended up that very same day doing the procedure and the very next day I went to work.

My life has changed tremendously. When I wake up, I can see and when I travel, I don’t have to worry about bringing glasses or an extra pair of contact lenses. I’m an active person so it really has been a blessing.

Darren K.

The procedure was quick and painless.

darrenHi, my name is Darren. I had the LASIK surgery about a year ago and my vision is still perfect. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. 

Dr. Manger’s staff was great; they walked me through everything. From the front desk to the laser, they made me feel comfortable. Every step of the way I was put at ease. There was no pressure, and Dr. Manger was awesome. The procedure was quick and painless and now I can see perfectly! Thank you Dr. Manger for answering all my questions and for making the surgery seem so simple.

Katherine L.

I couldn’t be happier!

katherineHi, my name is Katherine and I had LASIK about 6 months ago. I was sick and tired of wearing glasses all the time. I had been wearing glasses for ten years before I finally decided to get LASIK eye surgery.

I did my research before actually having my procedure done. I had been to a couple of LASIK centers before coming to Saddleback Eye Center. At another eye center, I was pressured into making an appointment to get LASIK,  but I just did not feel completely comfortable because I was not going to be able to meet my doctor until the actual day of my surgery.

Sarah R.

My life has changed so much since having LASIK!

sarahHi, my name is Sarah. I had LASIK surgery about 4 months ago and since then my life has changed so much! I can see perfectly now. My vision is now 20/15 compared to 20/400 before LASIK. After wearing glasses since age 10 and contacts since age 14, I never imagined being able to see the world in so many vivid colors again. I will never again take my vision for granted! 

The entire LASIK procedure – from the initial exam to the very end of the surgery â€“ was seamless and went by very quickly. A special thanks goes to Dr. Manger for making the day I had LASIK one of the best days of my life! 

Tricia L.

I wouldn’t trust my eyes to anyone else!

triciaHi, my name is Tricia. I came to Dr. Manger after my parents both had the LASIK procedure done. I’m going to law school soon, so reading and looking at the computer has been really tough on my eyes since I had such bad vision. But since I have had the procedure done, it has been great! My vision has been perfect. Just waking up in the morning without having to put in my contact lenses or worry about glasses has been absolutely amazing.

Kristin C.

The world is a whole new place for me.

kristinMy name is Kristin. I had LASIK in February of 2011 and it has been a tremendous experience.

I hated glasses and contacts – they gave me a headache and my contacts would dry my eyes out. I couldn’t deal with that everyday.

If you are thinking of LASIK, and would like it done but you are asking yourself, “Can I afford it?” or thinking, “I have all these things going on” … don’t wait. I wouldn’t wait at all. I’m 26 years old and I wish I would have done this in college.
