Available services may depend on your condition and the doctor you are scheduled to see.

The Las Cruces location is a clinic rather than a surgery center. Patients can receive examinations, diagnostic testing, consultations, and follow-up care at this location. When surgery is recommended, procedures may be performed at a designated surgical facility, including Desert Peaks Surgery Center. Your care team will confirm the correct location and provide instructions before your procedure.

Bring a photo ID, your medical and vision insurance cards, a current medication list, and any glasses or contact lenses you use. Bring outside eye records or referral information if they are relevant to your visit. Completing any requested preregistration before you arrive may make check-in easier. Review our appointment preparation guide for more information.

Appointment times vary based on the type of examination, diagnostic testing, and whether your eyes need to be dilated. If your exam includes dilation, plan to spend approximately one to two hours at the clinic.

Because wait times and testing needs can vary, allow extra time in your schedule and consider bringing a book, headphones, or another quiet activity. Dilation can cause temporary blurry vision and light sensitivity, so bring sunglasses and consider arranging a driver if you are concerned about driving afterward.

Southwest Eye Institute accepts many medical insurance plans, but participation and coverage vary by plan and type of care.
