Las Vegas Eye Institute

Specialties

Las Vegas Eye Institute is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care in the Las Vegas Valley. Matthew Swanic M.D. was born and raised in Las Vegas and returned here to practice ophthalmology after completing his residency at Tufts Medical Center in Boston and his fellowship in Cornea/​Refractive surgery at UCLA.

Dr. Swanic can treat a diverse array of eye conditions from minor to vision threatening. On top of his expertise in eye disease he is also well trained in the surgical correction of vision (ie LASIK). He is one of the few eye surgeons in the city who believes so strongly in refractive surgery that he had a corneal specialist perform it his OWN eyes in 2010. Now he looks forward to providing his patients the same incredible feeling of being able to read the clock in the morning without fumbling for a pair of glasses!

We are proud to provide our patients refractive surgery consultations with a doctor with advanced fellowship training in surgical vision correction.

History

Established in 2013.

Dr. Swanic started his medical career with a group practice in the Las Vegas Valley. This practice unfortunately had a business model that was unsustainable in the current healthcare reimbursement climate. This forced it to close in May of 2013. This gave Dr. Swanic the opportunity to start Las Vegas Eye Institute in June of 2013. Our financially stable practice has been able to grow and thrive. We are excited for our future and that of our patients’ eyes!
