The
Optometric Vision Center (OVC) was established in 1948 by Dr.
Raymond M. Paz. Dr. Paz, who was a native Las Crucen, had the
opportunity to pursue his optometric education from the University
of California at Berkeley School of Optometry. When he returned to
New Mexico Dr. Paz opened a family optometry practice in the heart
of Las Cruces. For forty years he provided optometric care to Las
Cruces and the surrounding community. Dr. Paz was also closely
involved with his community and active in his church and in civic
organizations. He served two terms on the New Mexico Board of
Examiners for Optometry and 25 years with the Las Cruces Parks and
Recreation Board. The City of Las Cruces recognized Dr. Paz'
community service in 1979 with the dedication of the Raymond M.
Paz Sports Complex. Dedicated
to his family, community, and country, Dr. Raymond Paz established
the firm business foundation that OVC enjoys today.

In 1988, Dr. Paz passed the practice on to his youngest
son, Dr. Thomas Paz. Committed to the values, principles,
and standards of optometric care established by his father,
Dr. Thomas Paz continues to serve the needs of Las Cruces
and the surrounding area. In 1993 he relocated OVC from
the downtown Las Cruces area to a larger clinic at 330
E. Boutz Road. In 1999 Dr. Adrian Tenorio joined OVC.
In 2004 OVC changed its name to LOOKS Eyecare .
Dr.s Paz and Tenorio are therapeutic optomistrists and provide a broad range of professional
eye care services that include pediatric care, contact lens
fittings, eyeglass prescriptions, and cataract and refractive
surgery consultation. LOOKS Eyecare also invests in the latest
computerized instrumentation designed to aid in the detection
and treatment of eye disorders and diseases.
LOOKS Eyecare offers two additional services for its patients.
The first is the eyewear studio, which provides a full
spectrum of optical lenses and the latest in designer
frames. The second, is the contact lens studio and
clinical department, which provides comprehensive
therapeutic and cosmetic contact lens fittings.
Cosmetic lenses will enhance or change the color
of your eyes.
LOOKS Eyecare presently has a staff who strives to provide the
finest services and products to their patients. As a
practice, LOOKS Eyecare plans to keep growing to serve the
needs of its community. But as it grows, Dr. Thomas
Paz and Dr. Adrian Tenorio will ensure that the ideals
of the practice remain the same.
