Raising the Bar on LASIK
At Newsom Eye we are raising the standards for performing All-Laser LASIK surgery. We are not comfortable with the industry practice of performing LASIK surgery in an office or strip mall setting. LASIK surgery should be performed in a sterile environment. That is why at Newsom Eye LASIK is performed in our sterile outpatient surgical facility- the Tampa Surgery Center. This state-of-the-art surgery center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), which is the highest nationally recognized accrediting body for outpatient surgery centers. We invite you to visit our surgery center and see first-hand the standard of care that Newsom Eye LASIK patients are receiving.

Am I a Candidate for LASIK?
One of the most common questions we receive is from prospective patients wondering whether or not they are able to have LASIK. There is a lot of misinformation about this. The truth is, given our advanced laser technology, the majority of patients will meet the requirements necessary to have LASIK surgery.
Put simply the age and health requirements required for LASIK can be boiled down to four simple criteria:
- You are at least 21 years of age.
- Your prescription has not changed for at least 12 months.
- You do not suffer from an eye disease.
- You are in good overall health.
If you meet those four basic criteria than you’re ready to take the next step and get on your way to a new you with amazing vision.

The Safest, Most Effective, Lasers
You can have piece of mind knowing that Newsom Eye uses only the most advanced vision correction lasers available. Lasers that are capable of producing 20/20 results in over 95% of patients. We offer all-laser, blade-free LASIK exclusively with the IntraLase® and ALLEGRETTO WAVE® lasers. With our lasers in the hands of our surgeons we have the ability to give you the life-changing vision you have been longing for.
ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Laser
The ALLEGRETTO WAVE® laser provides a custom laser treatment for the individual. It does this by mapping the cornea and then optimizing the laser treatment based on the profile of the patient’s cornea. What this means is that each patients laser treatment is customized to them and not a one-size-fits-all approach. When placed in the hands of our surgeons the result is more 20/20 outcomes than any other laser and surgeon combination can produce.
IntraLase™
Newsom Eye uses the IntraLase™ Femtosecond Laser in combination with the ALEGRETTO WAVE® laser to prepare the surface of the eye for your LASIK procedure. The IntraLase™ laser is the gold standard in bladeless LASIK technology. This is the technology that the United States Military and NASA approve for their pilots and astronauts.
Here are some key facts about the IntraLase™ bladeless procedure:
- Takes seconds to perform.
- Promotes faster healing due to its unmatched precision.
- The most effective laser for eliminating vision defects such as halos, starburst effects, glare, and double vision.
- Is the safest laser technology available.
It’s never been safer or more effective to get the vision that you want… that you deserve!
