I've been coming to this place for nearly a decade and it was always a great experience. Until today. When I spoke with a staff member on the phone two days ago to confirm my appointment, they informed me that my copay was only $10 with my insurance. Today I come in and do my exam with contacts that I felt was rushed, I'm ready to pay, and only then I'm informed that my contact lens exam is $60, which makes it a $70 copay with insurance. I was not prepared for this. I don't bring up the conflict in the middle of the office and I paid it but I did call them back to give them the opportunity to assist me with a solution. I inform the staff member that I was not initially informed by the staff member I spoke with two days ago and I'm a bit confused about the situation. (They obviously didn't bother to look up my account to observe that I wear contact lenses when I was initially told it is $10). They say nothing without even an offer to a solution, finalize the phone call, and didn't seem to give it a second thought. Very unfortunate.

I had a great experience at Sahara eye center. All of the staff and the doctor we're very friendly and accommodating. I was in and out fast and happy. Their office was very nice and so professional. I definitely would recommend this eye doctor.
If you’re looking for an optometrist in southwest Las Vegas/Summerlin area, I highly recommend Dr. Emma Vicuna of Sahara Eye Center. She has been our family eye doctor since 2009. She’s compassionate, very good with children, and really takes her time to explain any eye concerns/questions you have for her. Her office is very clean and has variety of on-trend eyeglasses for adults and children to choose from. Last but not the least, her office staff are very accommodating and amiable. I only have praises for all of them.
AMAZING experience. Staff and Dr. was so great with my 3 year old and more conservative with treatment options to work with our family’s needs. We are so thankful!
We had an amazing experience with Dr Emma Vicuna. Our daughter only has one sighted eye- so it is a big concern for us to ensure that she is getting proper care. Dr Vicuna was very kind and professional and discussed our concerns and made the exam super easy and stress free (not an easy task with an almost 2 year old) I would highly recommend her to anyone who need pediatric care!
