NV uninsured child rate holds steady

New data from the federal American Community Survey show just over 8% of children in Nevada , about 58,000, were uninsured last year. The rate of uninsured children in the Silver State held steady from the year before but Nevada's rate is about 2 percentage points higher than the national child uninsured rate, which was just over 6%, the highest rate since 2014. Edwin Park, research professor at the Center for Children and Families at Georgetown University, said the numbers varied by race between 2024 and 2025. "Some slight increases in the uninsured rate among white children, a particularly large one among American Indian and Alaska Natives but surprisingly, a reduction in the uninsured rate among Hispanic/Latino kids," Park reported. Park noted the number might have dipped because more undocumented families were deported or left the U.S. because of anti-immigrant policies. Park added ICE raids and changes to what's known as the "public charge rule" may have had a chilling effect, skewing the numbers as fewer Latino families respond to the American Community Survey. Meanwhile, experts are bracing for millions of people nationwide to lose Medicaid coverage after new paperwork and work requirements go into effect in January. The One

Las Vegas Eye Institute Publishes Patient Guide on Glasses Use After Cataract Surgery in Las Vegas, Nevada

Henderson, NV - October 20, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - Las Vegas Eye Institute, a LASIK surgeon located in Las Vegas, Nevada, has published a patient education article addressing whether patients continue to need glasses following cataract surgery. The practice, founded by Dr. Matthew Swanic in 2013, provides LASIK, SMILE, laser vision correction, and cataract surgery to patients throughout the Las Vegas area. The article, titled “ Will I still need glasses after cataract surgery? ”, is organized as a series of patient questions and answers covering intraocular lens categories, the factors that shape visual outcomes, and what happens when glasses are still needed after the procedure. According to the article, whether glasses remain necessary depends largely on the type of intraocular lens, commonly abbreviated as IOL, selected during the procedure. Patients across Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Summerlin who undergo cataract surgery at the practice choose among four lens categories. Monofocal lenses, the category covered by insurance, provide clear vision at a single focal point that is generally set for distance, and the article notes that patients who receive them typically require reading glasses for near tasks. Standard monofocal lenses do not correct corneal astigmatism, so patients with
