A Legacy of Leadership in Eye Surgery
Wellish Vision Institute was founded in 1994 by Kent Wellish, MD, and Abrams Eye Institute was established in 1996 by Jack Abrams, MD. In March 2025, the two practices came together to form Wellish Abrams Vision Institute — now one of Nevada’s most trusted ophthalmology centers. Over the years, we have:
-
Trained more than 100 local eye doctors in laser vision correction
-
Earned national recognition as a Dry Eye Center of Excellence
-
Maintained a perfect A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau
-
Built the only permanent on-site, all-laser LASIK center in Las Vegas owned and operated by a physician voted “Top Doc”
Dr. Abrams also brings unmatched surgical innovation. He was the first surgeon in Nevada to perform Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery, KAMRA Inlay, Laser-Assisted Intacs, and is the only surgeon in the state to perform laser-assisted corneal transplants.
Dr. Kent Wellish performed Nevada’s first LASIK laser vision correction in 1994, a milestone that helped shape the future of vision correction in our state.
Collectively, our surgeons have performed thousands of LASIK, cataract, glaucoma, and corneal procedures, earning the trust of patients across Las Vegas and Henderson.
