LASIK Patient Story: Meet Dr. Auth

Dr. Jonathan Auth is a physician and general pediatrician in Orange County. One month ago, after 15 years of pondering over the possibility of LASIK, he decided to schedule an appointment for an exam with Dr. Manger.  Read below to hear his story:

“As a physician and general pediatrician, I have a lot of experience referring to and recommending other specialists.   I could not recommend Dr. Manger and his entire team at Saddleback Eye Center with more enthusiasm.  

With 20/500 vision, I had been a slave to my glasses and contacts for more than 25 years.  I had pondered the possibility of LASIK for nearly 15 years, and after finally deciding to pursue it, I was devastated, when my initial evaluation through my optometrist of more than 10 years, suggested that I wasn’t a candidate, due to the shape of my cornea.  

Seeking a second opinion, I took to the Internet.  While I had heard about Dr. Manger from several colleagues, I was surprised to discover the staggering volume of experience that Dr. Manger personally has acquired.   As a physician, I can attest to several factors which help ensure quality medical outcomes.  

1) The most important variable on surgical outcomes is the surgeon’s personal experience.  Dr. Manger has personally completed over 94,000 laser eye correction procedures.  As a pediatrician I think it’s important for physicians to have to have empathy, a kind heart, and passion and love for humanity.  It’s rare to find a surgeon like Dr. Manger who possesses all these attributes, AND has the expertise, experience, and outcomes to show for it. </sp
