Dr. Dickerson saved my vision! I visited for a routine check up and paid $30 for their retina photo. This isnt covered by insurance since it is considered preventative care. I am so thankful I paid the 30 bucks! He discovered that my retina was partially detached. I had surgery soon after and the detachment fixed. Him and the staff are very friendly and I highly recommend them!

SIX STARS!! Newly arrived here in Las Vegas, I asked Aetna for a referral. In Focus Eye Care Center was one of many. I researched further , booked the appointment. The skilled Technician performed the tests, and impressive, very important OPTOMAP images everyone must order for determining in depth eye and body health unknown issues . Dr. Neil Dickerson is amazing, a Statesman Star of Optometry. .
