I have had poor vision for a very long time. I was never able to use contacts because the idea of touching my own eyeball every day really freaked me out. So I wore glasses most of the time... until I decided that I was sick of it. I went for a consultation with Dr. Mandel, not knowing what to expect. At 19, I thought maybe I was too young and he would turn me away until I was a little bit older. I was also nervous about if he said I could do the surgery- would it hurt? Would it be uncomfortable? Would something go wrong? However, after meeting with Dr. Mandel, I was pleased to find out I was a perfect candidate for lasik surgery, my vision has been stable for over a year and 19 was not too young. I was also reassured by Dr. Mandel's demeanor. He was extremely kind and comforting, and he assured me that nothing would go wrong, he was good at what he did. And he was right! My surgery went beautifully/ Dr. Mandel really is the BEST he was calm and kept me calm, and also gave me vision that was BETTER than 20/20! I was ecstatic. I was feeling great as early as that very evening. My classes resumed from break just two days afterward, and I was perfectly ready. For the first time in my life I was able to sit in class and take notes without straining to see. My whole life has changed for the better, I can finally see!
DO this surgery, and do it with Dr. Mandel!
