If your goal is to decrease your dependence on glasses or contact lenses, you may be a candidate for LASIK (laser vision correction). LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis and is one of the most commonly performed elective procedures. LASIK reshapes the surface of your eye, allowing light rays to focus directly on the retina and can correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. At Newsom Eye, our goal is for you to take control of your vision and have the peace of mind that thousands of patients have found with Newsom Eye Custom LASIK.
