Optometrist in Summerlin, Las Vegas: About Trendsetter Eyewear and Dr. Payne

If you are looking for an optometrist in Summerlin, Las Vegas, Trendsetter Eyewear is a specialty practice that offers something most optical offices do not: a combination of advanced diagnostic technology, specialty clinical expertise, and a curated luxury eyewear collection — all in one location.

The right optometrist is a long-term health partner — not just someone who writes your glasses prescription. In Summerlin, where desert climate, high UV, and active lifestyles create specific eye health challenges, the depth of your optometrist's expertise matters more than convenience.

Dr. Cynthia Payne has been providing comprehensive eye care in the Las Vegas Valley for over 30 years. She is a licensed optometrist with advanced training in several specialty areas that set Trendsetter Eyewear apart from general optometry practices.

Dr. Payne is one of the few certified NeuroVisual specialists in Nevada. NeuroVisual Medicine is a specialty within optometry that focuses on diagnosing and treating Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) — a subtle eye misalignment that causes chronic headaches, dizziness, neck pain, and anxiety that is frequently misdiagnosed as migraines, vestibular disorders, or anxiety.

The certification requires advanced training in the diagnostic techniques and treatment protocols developed by the NeuroVisual Medicine Institute. Dr. Payne uses a systematic evaluation protocol to identify BVD in patients who have often been searching for answers for years.

Dr. Payne has extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease — a condition that is particularly prevalent in Las Vegas's desert climate. Trendsetter Eyewear's Dry Eye Spa offers the full spectrum of advanced dry eye treatments, including IPL therapy, OptiPlus RF, meibomian gland expression, and NuLids.

Dr. Payne and her team of licensed opticians have deep expertise in luxury eyewear fitting. Trendsetter Eyewear carries over 20 luxury and designer brands — Cartier, Tom Ford, Dior, Face à Face, Valentino, Prada, Gucci, and more — and provides the expert fitting that these frames require.

Our comprehensive eye exams include advanced diagnostic technology that goes beyond what most practices offer:

• OCT retinal imaging: Detects glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy years before symptoms appear
• iCare tonometry: Comfortable, no-puff glaucoma screening
• Slit-lamp examination: Detailed anterior segment evaluation
• Dilated fundus examination: Full retinal assessment
• Visual field testing: Peripheral vision assessment
• Refraction: Precise glasses and contact lens prescription measurement

For patients with chronic headaches, dizziness, neck pain, or anxiety that has not been explained by other evaluations, Dr. Payne offers a specialized NeuroVisual evaluation that tests for BVD. Treatment with micro-prism lenses has helped many patients who had been searching for answers for years.

Las Vegas's dry desert climate makes dry eye disease nearly universal. Our Dry Eye Spa offers:

• IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy
• OptiPlus RF radiofrequency treatment
• Meibomian gland expression
• NuLids eyelid micro-exfoliation
• Prescription dry eye medications

We fit all types of contact lenses, including:

• Standard soft lenses (daily, biweekly, monthly)
• Toric lenses for astigmatism
• Multifocal lenses for presbyopia
• Scleral lenses for keratoconus and irregular corneas

Trendsetter Eyewear has earned a reputation for thoroughness, expertise, and a level of personal attention that is rare in modern optometry practice. Our patients frequently tell us that their exam at Trendsetter Eyewear was the most comprehensive they have ever had — and that Dr. Payne found things that other doctors had missed.

Visit our reviews page to read what patients say about their experience.

How is Trendsetter Eyewear different from a chain optical store? We are a specialty practice, not a retail optical chain. Dr. Payne spends significantly more time with each patient than is typical at chain practices. We offer specialty services (NeuroVisual Medicine, Dry Eye Spa) that are not available at most optometry offices. And our eyewear collection is curated for quality and distinctiveness, not volume.

Do you see patients of all ages? Yes. We see patients from infants through seniors. Dr. Payne has extensive experience with pediatric patients and with the age-related conditions that affect older adults.

How far in advance should I schedule? We recommend scheduling 2–4 weeks in advance for routine exams. For specialty evaluations (NeuroVisual, dry eye), call us to discuss availability.
