Frequently Asked Questions

NV Eye Surgery was founded in 2014 by Dr. Peter DeBry. We provide vision correction surgery and treatment for medical eye conditions from two locations in the Las Vegas valley, Henderson and northwest Las Vegas. Our team includes Dr. DeBry, Dr. Andy Mu, and Dr. Luke Moore.

We operate Nevada’s only office-based comprehensive cataract and refractive surgery center. Performing these procedures in an office setting rather than a hospital surgical center often saves patients $1,000 or more compared to other clinics in the state. Dr. DeBry completed a fellowship at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, widely regarded as the top ophthalmology program in the country, and offers a wider range of surgical procedures than most eye surgeons in Nevada.

We handle vision correction (LASIK, PRK, RLE, EVO ICL), cataract surgery, glaucoma, cornea disease, pterygium, optic nerve conditions, and dry eye. We also provide second opinions for cataract, glaucoma, and cornea diagnoses.

Henderson: 2390 W Horizon Ridge Pkwy #100, Henderson, NV 89052 Las Vegas: 501 Rose St. Suite #150, Las Vegas, NV 89106 Both offices are open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm.

Call 702.825.2085 during business hours, or use our online scheduling link to book directly. If you’re specifically interested in LASIK, you can call 702.331.0140 or book a LASIK consultation online. Please give us 24 hours notice if you need to cancel.

It depends on your prescription, corneal thickness, age, and lifestyle. Dr. DeBry works with each patient individually to identify the safest option with the best possible visual outcome, rather than defaulting to one procedure for everyone. Our LASIK/ICL self-test is a good starting point if you want a quick sense of your options before your consultation.

LASIK and PRK correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea with a laser. RLE (refractive lens exchange) replaces your eye’s natural lens with an artificial one, and is often used for patients with presbyopia who rely on readers or bifocals. EVO ICL places an implantable lens in front of your natural lens without removing any corneal tissue, which can be an option for patients who aren’t good LASIK candidates due to thin corneas or high prescriptions.

We use no-hassle pricing rather than a low advertised price with add-ons later. Our LASIK and ICL fees include your consultation and candidacy testing, the laser and lens fees, and post-operative care for up to six months. Enhancements are free in the first year, and discounted after that: 60% off in year two, 40% off in year three, 20% off in year four, and 15% off (friends and family rate) in year five and beyond. Use our LASIK savings calculator to get a sense of your specific cost.

Generally, no. LASIK, PRK, RLE, and ICL are considered elective vision correction and aren’t covered by medical or vision insurance. Medical conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and cornea disease are a different matter and are typically covered under your medical insurance.

Common signs include cloudy or blurry vision, increased glare from lights (especially at night), fading or yellowing of colors, and needing brighter light to read. Our cataract self-test can help you get a preliminary sense of whether it’s time to come in.

There are several lens options depending on your vision goals and whether you also want to reduce your dependence on glasses. Dr. DeBry will walk through the choices with you and recommend the option that fits your eyes and lifestyle.

Not necessarily. NV Eye Surgery operates Nevada’s only office-based comprehensive cataract and refractive surgery center, which allows many patients to have their procedure done in our office rather than a hospital surgical facility, often at significant savings.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable blindness, often with no early symptoms. Treating it well requires an accurate diagnosis, a treatment plan built around your specific case, and ongoing monitoring through office visits and testing.

The cornea is the eye’s front window, and disease here can cause cloudiness and blurred vision. We offer treatments that can restore clarity and improve vision depending on the underlying cause.

Pterygium is scar tissue that grows over the cornea, usually from sun exposure over time. Surgery is a good option once the tissue starts affecting your vision.

Yes. Our dry eye center uses advanced diagnostic technology to identify your specific type of dry eye, so we can start you on treatment that actually addresses the cause rather than a generic approach.

Yes, we provide second opinions for cataract, glaucoma, and cornea conditions.

We take most common medical insurance plans, including Medicare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Culinary, UMR, Teachers, United HealthCare, Sierra Health and Life, and TriCare. We’re unable to see patients with Senior Dimensions or Humana Gold Medicare Advantage plans except in rare cases authorized by the plan itself. Send us a message through our contact page, or text a photo of your insurance card to 702.935.5746, and our staff will confirm your coverage.

Vision insurance is a separate, optional benefit that covers glasses, contacts, and routine eye exams for glasses or contacts. We are not a provider on vision insurance plans and don’t perform glasses or contact lens exams. Medical conditions like cataracts and glaucoma fall under your medical insurance instead, and your specific plan determines your co-pay and deductible for office visits and procedures.

Come in anyway. Many plans offer out-of-network benefits that let you pay upfront and get partially reimbursed, and cash pay is also an option, often costing less over a year than switching plans just to get in-network coverage. Dr. DeBry has spoken directly to this: a lack of insurance should never keep someone from getting treated for an eye disease, and the practice works with patients to find a way, including reduced-cost care when the situation calls for it.

Veterans may be eligible to see our doctors through a VA community care program, which requires a referral from the VA. Talk to the Las Vegas VA Eye Clinic about this option.
