Newsom Eye Custom LASIK with Contoura™
A glasses prescription describes your eye in three numbers. Your cornea has thousands of small irregularities that no prescription captures — and Contoura™ treats those too.
Contoura™ topography-guided LASIK
Welcome to the forefront of LASIK technology at Newsom Eye, where we offer Contoura™ LASIK — the next generation of laser vision correction available in Tampa and Sebring, Florida.
With the WaveLight® Contoura™ platform we bring you one of the most advanced excimer laser systems in the United States. Backed by FDA studies, Contoura™ LASIK has demonstrated remarkable outcomes in correcting myopia and astigmatism.
What makes it different is the map. A standard treatment corrects the prescription in your glasses. A topography-guided treatment measures thousands of points across your cornea and treats its actual shape — which is why so many patients report better quality of vision, not just a better number on the chart.

What custom LASIK involves
The difference happens before the laser fires — in how thoroughly your eye is measured.
Corneal topography
Thousands of measurement points map the surface of your cornea, capturing irregularities a glasses prescription cannot describe.
Candidacy assessment
Corneal thickness, prescription stability, pupil size and tear film all determine whether LASIK is the right procedure for you.
Treatment planning
Your topography map is used to build a treatment unique to your eye, rather than applying a standard correction for your prescription.
Flap creation
A corneal flap is created, giving the excimer laser access to the tissue beneath.
Laser reshaping
The WaveLight® Contoura™ laser reshapes the cornea according to your individual map. The laser time itself is measured in seconds.
Recovery
Many patients notice improved vision within hours to days, with minimal discomfort. Your first check is the following morning.
Frequently asked questions about Custom LASIK
What is Contoura™ LASIK?
The next generation of laser vision correction, available at Newsom Eye in Tampa and Sebring. It uses the WaveLight® Contoura™ platform, one of the most advanced excimer laser systems in the United States.
How is it different from standard LASIK?
Standard LASIK corrects the prescription in your glasses. Contoura™ is topography-guided: it maps thousands of points across your cornea and treats its actual shape, including irregularities a prescription cannot describe.
Is it FDA approved?
Yes. Backed by FDA studies, Contoura™ LASIK has demonstrated remarkable outcomes in correcting myopia and astigmatism.
Will my vision be better than with glasses?
Many patients report better quality of vision — less glare, crisper contrast — not simply a better line on the chart. Your surgeon will give you a realistic expectation from your own maps.
Does it cost more?
Advanced treatment platforms may involve a different fee than a basic procedure. Our team quotes your specific plan before you schedule, with no surprises afterward.
Who is a candidate?
Candidacy depends on corneal thickness, prescription stability, pupil size and tear film. A consultation measures all of it and tells you honestly whether LASIK, PRK or the EVO ICL suits your eyes.
How long does the procedure take?
You are in the laser suite for a matter of minutes, with the actual laser treatment measured in seconds per eye. Plan on a couple of hours at the center overall.
Can both eyes be treated the same day?
Yes, both eyes are commonly treated in the same session. Your surgeon will confirm that plan at your consultation.
