    Shout out to everyone here! This was such an experience, from the start to finish. Dr. Manger and Nguyen, I appreciate the time and effort you gave me regarding to any sort of questions. Michele and Micheal, you guys are great. Super amazing and knowledgeable, The coaching and the communication during the surgery was really needed. I'm so happy that was provided. Everyone in the staff here deserves a shoutout. Thank you all for making me feel welcome. I'll recommend anyone to this center when I get the chance. Just know you have to be qualify first for lasik, with all the test they provide. Thank you all!

    Omg!!! What can I say this place is super , I cane here for a consultation and decided to just do it and save some money. Everyone is so sweet and helpful , customer service % !!! I did the monovision and right away I could see better. I'm so happy I took the decision. Both doctors are great and right to the point. The price is worth since they provide with 2 pair of to use wile you get better. Also they give you goggles to use wile your sleep so you don't hurt your eyes accidentally at night. This place get 5 stars fue the fact they are perfect in quality, customer services and results . Im exited to recommend dr. Charles.

    11/3/2021 -- Post op check up with Dr. Manger, day after my surgery

    I started wearing glasses when I was about 8 years old. They weren't even corrective glasses so that made my vision worse. From then on I had to wear thick glasses and was bullied for having four eyes. In highschool, we went in for my yearly check up but the eye clinic could no longer accommodate my high prescription + high astigmatism so they referred me to a lot of doctors who I trusted my eyes with until yesterday I was told that I wasn't a 'good candidate' for lasik so I never bothered getting a second opinion. I even qualified for a vision disability in the Philippines in 2018 that's how bad it was! -13 vision with 5.00 astigmatism. Fast forward to few weeks ago, I decided to get a second opinion because why not... I did a lot of research and I stumbled upon Dr. Manger who has excellent credentials with over 90,000+ lasik procedures performed since 1996. I was 5 years old when he started doing them! I booked an appointment through their website for a free 2.5 hour consultation without any expectations. I was just anxious to get it over with cause I felt like I wasn't going to be a good candidate. After an extensive series of tests, Dr. Manger guaranteed me 20/40 vision (my prescription now) or even better, through a PRK procedure. It's like lasik but without flapping the cornea but with a longer healing process. Due to my high prescription/astigmatism and thin corneas, this was the best route for me. All of the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable and answered all my concerns (blindness, pregnancy, pain) so I felt very at ease the entire time. And what's crazy was... they could do the surgery the SAME DAY which only took 15 minutes. I came for a consult at 12:30pm and finished the surgery at 5:30pm. After 20+ years, today is the day I never have to pick up my prescription contacts and glasses ever again! It still hasn't really sunk in but I'm just so grateful for Dr. Manger and the whole Saddleback Eye Center team for taking care of me and for improving my quality of life

    I was thinking for Lasik surgery for long time but heard so many horrors story of after surgery, I was in fear of developing complication. I did lots of homework, research, referrals from friends and family and reviews of past customers and I make my own decision to choose Dr. Manger. Even though the facility is very far from San Diego. Dr.Manger and all staff were great very pleasant. Facility is superb. Explanation before and after surgery was great. The surgery was fascinating, I walkup next morning with vision without glasses and beautiful smile. Now my wife and daughter also thinking for Lasik surgery. If you are interested in LASIK, please look no further than Dr.Manger. Thank you, Dr. Manger and all the staff members.

    My new eyes!!!

    How is the follow up after surgery? I was informed that only 1 follow up on the next day of surgery and that's it. It makes me worried.

    They follow up the next day after your surgery to remove the "bandages" from your eyes and give you your drops for after care. Then they'll set up a 6 month follow up appointment to see how your vision is doing. Be sure to use your drops as… Read more

    What is the cost per eye? Even a range would be great.

    I spent $5000 for both eyes and I'm happy with it.

    Anybody have monovision lasik? 3 mos. post op and wearing one contact and glasses. I am worried as I can not see without these. My life has been on hold for 3 mos plus out money. Anyone have such experience?

    Unfortunately my experience was not a positive one. I got Lasik in April '17 and almost 5 months later my vision is exactly the same as it was the day I had it done....blurry, I see "halos" around lights and I have no detail. $4900 later and I wish… Read more

    My experience with Orange County Lasik Institute has been nothing but seamless and spectacular…read more This was the first and only place I visited after scouring countless Yelp and Google reviews of different LASIK institutes. After my first consultation, I was confident that I was in good hands; and within two weeks I was in the operating room after being cleared by both the Ophthalmologist and Optometrist for PRK--which is a bit more safe but tedious in recovery compared to LASIK. The entire staff are very accommodating, meticulous and pleasant to talk to. I called in countless times before committing and always had my questions thoroughly answered by Marvin. Leslie from the front desk always makes me feel at home when I step into the institute. I never felt pressured by Dr. Pham or Dr. Huynh to proceed with treatment, even though they took an abundance of tests on my eyes and clearly explained the risks and rewards of PRK--all before I even paid! I remember clearly when Dr. Pham told me, "Even if you don't get LASIK/PRK with us, I want you to leave this institute knowing to stop rubbing your eyes." My mom and I were definitely very anxious before surgery, but Orange County Lasik Institute made us feel safe with my decision. As I mentioned, PRK is more tedious in recovery compared to LASIK--which if you didn't know, LASIK will give you 20/20 vision the next day! On the other hand, I'm writing this review four months post-surgery, and while I'm seeing 20/20 with no complaints, Dr. Huynh assured me during the countless post-op visits that my clarity can continue to improve for up to a year. My eyes went from -5.00 to 20/20, and I'm confident that Orange County LASIK Institute can do the same for you! Useful Tips: 1. Read the "20 Tough Questions to ask your Surgeon" on their website. 2. If using CareCredit, request 2x-3x the bill amount as your limit to help protect your credit score. 3. Look no further and book your first consultation!

I called them right away and had an appointment at 8:30 the next morning. Right off the start I was impressed with how friendly and courteous they were. It took about 2 hours to do all the testing and at every point I was treated like I was very special, which I am . They started showing me my options, I was like wow that's incredible. I chose Mono vision and did the procedure the same day. During the surgery Dr Manger and his staff talked to me throughout the whole process and made me feel so comfortable. It's not easy when people are in your eyes , but it was painless and very quick. I had to be out of there by 1:30pm for another doctors appointment in Lakewood and was able to drive without a problem. All I can say is wow. I was able to see close and far for the first time in years without glasses. Do it because it's worth it, they offer 18 months 0% no interest . I was planning on just paying but you can't beat that deal. Thank you so much Dr Manger and all of your staff for your kindness and professionalism. I am so happy and excited that I had it done. Thank you again and again for everything. Daniel B
