Real Patients. Real Results.
They all have NEWSOM EYES!
Hear directly from Newsom Eye patients across Tampa Bay, Sebring and Gainesville — from Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy to teachers, physicians and business owners — about life after cataract surgery, LASIK, EVO ICL and glaucoma care.

Coach Tony Dungy Loves His NEWSOM EYES!
“This technology is cutting edge and I’m grateful to be a little part of it. No glasses for me — I can see, I can drive, I can watch television, I can read and I can see the players on the field.”
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach and current NFL analyst Tony Dungy had LASIK more than 20 years ago. When his vision began to deteriorate, Dr. Newsom diagnosed cataracts and Coach Dungy chose the Light Adjustable Lens — the first and only lens that can be customized to your exact vision after surgery. He was, in his words, “informed every step of the way.”

“Glasses are gone! Best decision ever.”
I have worn glasses since I was 10 years old, and contacts all through high school. With my astigmatism, my contacts were difficult to wear and my eyes would get dry, blurry and irritated by the end of the day. I’d thought about LASIK for so many years, but was just too nervous.

I decided to book my own LASIK with Dr. Newsom. BEST DECISION EVER!! I still can’t believe the clarity I have now, something I never had with my contacts. Being able to give future LASIK patients my first-hand experience is incredible! It’s great to ease their mind about how quick and easy LASIK truly is. I am the Amazing LASIK Outcome and you can be too. I’m thankful for my Newsom Eyes!
“I put my confidence in the best.”
As a physician, I depend on seeing clearly every day to effectively perform my job. For years I have been afraid to trust anyone with the surgical correction of my eyes. When I learned about Dr. Newsom and his state-of-the-art facility and latest technology, I knew at last I had found someone I could entrust with my vision.

The entire experience was positive — from the pre-operative exam, the day of procedure, and the post-operative follow up. By the next day, I was restored to perfect vision and felt great. I put my confidence in the best and I am glad I did. Thank you Dr. Newsom.
“I am seeing clearly like never before.”

“I can see forever!”
A Sebring business consultant and avid golfer, Jennifer started losing track of her golf ball, struggling with small print and seeing halos at night. Her mother had been a Newsom Eye patient for years, so she knew exactly who to call. The diagnosis: cataracts.

On surgery day she was nervous, but the team helped her feel calm and made sure she had an amazing experience. She describes Dr. Newsom and the team as professional, efficient and prompt. Today she follows her golf ball, reads the small type on screens and sees every face in the audience when she presents — and is excited to say, “I can see forever!”
