Hey, Austin! Choose an Eye Doctor Who Puts You First
Mann Eye Institute turns eye care into a calm, confident experience
In a city as vibrant as Austin, life moves fast but your eye care shouldn’t feel rushed. At Mann Eye Institute, patients experience something refreshingly different: care that is personal, patient-centered, and delivered at a pace that encourages clarity. Scheduling is realistic, exams are explained before they begin, and conversations are grounded in your story, not just your chart.
The Institute has been serving Texans for over 40 years, expanding to 16 locations under the leadership of Dr. Mike Mann. From the beginning, the mission has been simple yet profound: to transform lives by delivering clear vision with compassion and precision. As one of the earliest adopters of laser vision correction in the United States, Dr. Mann helped bring LASIK into the mainstream, setting the standard for refractive surgery across Texas.
When patients feel calm and understood, they make better decisions. That’s why the Mann Eye Institute team keeps the process human and collaborative, building an atmosphere where care feels consistent and confidence comes naturally.
David Tremblay, MD builds a plan around your goals and routines
Every patient arrives with unique frustrations and hopes. Dr. David Tremblay, a fellowship-trained ophthalmologist in Austin specializing in LASIK, corneal disease, and cataract surgery, takes time to learn how vision supports your life. He asks about your workday on screens, whether you avoid night driving, and how glasses or contacts affect your outdoor hobbies.
With those details in hand, Dr. Tremblay outlines solutions that align with your priorities. Sometimes the answer is refractive surgery such as LASIK, SMILE, PRK, or EVO ICL. Other times, it may be cataract surgery with premium lens options or long-term management for corneal conditions.
“At Mann Eye Institute, cataract and refractive surgery are tools we customize, not just procedures we advertise,” says Dr. Tremblay. “Our job is to match the right technique to lifestyle so results feel natural.”
When a plan respects your routine, you can trust it. When it makes sense, you can follow it. When it’s built with you, it’s built to last.
Experience that inspires trust
Skill and experience matter when it comes to eye surgery. Dr. Mike Mann has performed thousands of vision correction procedures, helping make LASIK a safe and effective option for Texans. His brother, Dr. Paul Mann, carries that legacy forward with over 50,000 refractive surgeries performed, making him one of the most experienced LASIK and cataract surgeons in Austin. Together, the Mann family has shaped a practice where patients benefit from decades of expertise and a shared commitment to innovation.
This depth of experience means the team has encountered nearly every type of case. Whether it’s a patient with high prescriptions who benefits from EVO ICL, a cornea best suited for PRK, or someone eager for the minimally invasive comfort of SMILE, patients can feel reassured knowing their surgeon has navigated these decisions many times before.
From evaluation to follow-up, expect clarity at every step
The journey at Mann Eye Institute is designed for transparency. Testing is explained in plain English, and results are tied back to the frustrations you feel every day like glare at night or difficulty with fine print. A clear follow-up schedule is outlined so progress is measured and visible.
This commitment to education is a hallmark of the Institute’s approach. Patients are never left guessing. Instead, they leave knowing exactly what will happen, when it will happen, and why it matters.
Clarity begins with explanation. It grows with repetition. And it endures with follow-up.
Cataract and refractive surgery options that reduce daily frustrations
For patients struggling with cloudy vision, cataract surgery at Mann Eye Institute restores clarity using advanced techniques like femtosecond laser assistance and premium intraocular lenses. Patients can even choose lenses that correct astigmatism or provide vision across multiple distances, reducing the need for glasses after surgery.
For those ready to shed glasses or contacts earlier in life, refractive procedures provide multiple tailored options:
• LASIK reshapes the cornea, providing rapid recovery and lasting clarity. While the changes are permanent, age-related presbyopia may still affect near vision later in life.
• SMILE offers a minimally invasive alternative that requires only a tiny incision, reducing tissue disruption and promoting quick comfort.
• EVO ICL places a biocompatible lens inside the eye without altering the cornea, ideal for high prescriptions or thin corneas. It’s removable and upgradeable if your needs change.
• PRK delivers excellent results for patients whose corneas or professions make surface treatment the safer choice.
Each procedure has unique advantages, and at Mann Eye Institute, the conversation focuses on finding the one that fits your eyes, your priorities, and your lifestyle.
Technology that raises standards
Advanced technology backs every recommendation. From corneal mapping and wavefront analysis to femtosecond laser platforms, Mann Eye Institute invests in tools that improve precision and safety. But technology alone isn’t enough. The true difference is how experienced surgeons like Dr. Mike Mann, Dr. Paul Mann, and Dr. David Tremblay use these tools to customize care.
State-of-the-art equipment paired with decades of expertise means patients can expect outcomes that feel both natural and reliable.
Aftercare that fits work, family, and fitness
Life doesn’t stop after surgery, so recovery guidance is built around real routines. Early rest sets the stage. Screen time resumes in measured blocks with plenty of lubrication. Sunglasses outdoors protect sensitive eyes, and exercise returns in gradual stages. Follow-up visits confirm healing and fine-tune habits.
Recovery is not a countdown. Recovery is a rhythm of small, consistent choices that protect long-term results.
Take the first step toward effortless vision today
Your vision is too important to leave to chance. At Mann Eye Institute, trust is built through decades of surgical leadership, advanced technology, and a philosophy that treats every patient as an individual.
“Mann Eye Institute earns trust by treating cataract and refractive surgery as part of a larger vision journey, not as isolated events,” says Dr. Tremblay.
Your eyes tell your story every day. Let your care support that story with clarity, confidence, and comfort.
