Routine Eye Exams

Newsom Eye offers routine eye exams with our board-certified optometrists and ophthalmologists. Having yearly eye exams is an important factor in maintaining proper eye health and may reveal vision conditions some of which you may not notice symptoms, but are important to catch in the early stages. Our Newsom Eye team uses a variety of tests and advanced technology to evaluate any structural eye changes, monitor existing eye conditions, diagnose, as well as treat vision problems to help prevent possible vision loss in the future.

Vision Correction Surgery

If you are considering having laser vision correction (LASIK), your goal is to decrease your dependence on glasses or contact lenses. At Newsom Eye, our goal is to go well beyond that. We want you to have the quality of vision, improved lifestyle, and peace of mind that thousands of patients have found with their NEWSOM EYES.

This procedure uses a laser to change the shape of the cornea to allow light to focus directly onto the retina. This refocusing of light is what allows patients to regain clear vision and reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contacts. LASIK is one of the most commonly performed elective procedures in the world. LASIK is an efficient and virtually painless procedure, resulting in the majority of our patients seeing 20/20 or better the very next day.
