T. Hunter Newsom, MD, performs the Newsom Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery™ Procedure at the Tampa Surgery Center.
T. Hunter Newsom, MD has recently announced the Newsom Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery™ technique for performing laser cataract surgery. True to our mission to remain at the cutting edge of ophthalmic care Dr. Newsom has spent the previous two years inventing the innovative technique at the AAAHC accredited Tampa Surgery Center. This experience sets us apart from surgeons who may purchase this technology off-of-the-shelf, and defines us as an authority on the subject.
Newsom Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery™ offers qualified patients the opportunity to experience cataract surgery without the use of bladed tools traditionally used to create the necessary surgical micro-incisions. Newsom Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery™ utilizes femtosecond laser technology for the creation of those same incisions. While the technology is still young, the promise of the laser lies in improved safety, increased precision, and reproducibility of results.
Dr. Newsom is now sharing his groundbreaking technique with his peers in the ophthalmology community. He has recently published educational materials documenting his technique through the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s (www.aao.org) news and continuing education site, to over 15,000 ophthalmologists nationwide. He is also scheduled to speak at the annual meeting of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (www.ascrs.org) in April. Newsom states, “The response to our technique has been overwhelming and we now have surgeons from around the country asking us how they can introduce laser cataract surgery in their own practices”. Newsom continues, “It’s encouraging to see that after two years of hard work perfecting this technology our efforts are being validated as the ophthalmology community at large takes an interest in our laser cataract procedure”.
As a developer of this technique Newsom Eye welcomes any interest in cataract surgery that the advancement generates and is proud of their role in providing the ophthalmology community with a bladeless cataract surgery technique.
