WHY DO I NEED GLASSES TO SEE CLEARLY?

The cornea (front surface of the eye) and the lens inside the eye (similar to a camera lens) work together to allow your eye to focus images clearly. If your cornea and lens do not focus these images properly on the retina (back of the eye), you will need glasses or contact lenses to correct the focusing. The abnormal focusing of your eye is categorized as nearsighted, farsighted or as having astigmatism.

CAN DR. NEWSOM FIX THE FOCUSING ABILITY OF MY EYE?

Unfortunately, there is not a pill, vitamin or exercise that will change the focusing ability of your eye. However, Dr. Newsom can reshape the abnormal focusing of your eye by performing LASIK surgery. Dr. Newsom uses the ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ Excimer Laser System, which is considered to be the most advanced laser system in the world:

–	It is the newest FDA-approved laser and produces more 20/20 results than any other laser.
–	The ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ gives a customized treatment for your vision needs, whether you suffer from nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
–	The customized treatment enables the laser to preserve your cornea’s naturally curved shape, which hugely contributes to your highly successful visual outcome. It helps your eye to reflect light the way it naturally should.
–	Your eye will be tracked every 4-6 milliseconds, ensuring the safest and most accurate treatment to your cornea.

In order to access the cornea and treat it, a flap must be created on the surface of your eye. Dr. Newsom uses the IntraLase® Femtosecond Laser to create the flap, thereby making LASIK an all-laser, blade-free procedure.

–	This process takes 15-20 seconds from start to finish.
–	The IntraLase® Laser forms a beveled edge in the flap, which promotes faster healing and more security once the flap is put back in place after LASIK.
–	Using this system, your LASIK procedure will be completely blade-free.

WHY ?

Dr. Newsom has performed tens of thousands of vision correction procedures with results that have patients traveling across the world to Newsom Eye. One particular patient branded Dr. Newsom’s surgical results when she said, “I don’t tell people I have NEW EYES, I tell them I have ‘’”. From that day on, the term “” was born, and has been used by patients to describe their life-changing experience.

Dr. Newsom has raised the standard in LASIK surgery by committing to the safest environment possible. Your LASIK procedure will be performed in the same operating room as intraocular (cataract and retina) surgery. Tampa Surgery Center’s class C operating rooms are certified by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). This certification maintains the highest level of sterility in order to prevent infection or contamination during surgery, and is not required for LASIK surgery. Dr. Newsom made the decision to go above and beyond the standards for LASIK to ensure the safest conditions for his patients. Your eyes deserve the best surgeon using the most advanced technology in the safest environment. You deserve .
