Services
Cataract Surgery
Newsom Eye specializes in advanced cataract surgery using bladeless laser technology and premium intraocular lenses. Our board-certified surgeons remove clouded lenses and replace them with customized implants to restore clear vision. With over 80,000 procedures performed, we prioritize safety, precision, and rapid recovery for patients experiencing blurred vision, glare, or faded colors due to cataracts.
EVO ICL
EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) offers a permanent vision correction alternative to LASIK for nearsighted patients. Newsom Eyes specialists implant a custom lens inside the eye to correct refractive errors without reshaping the cornea. This reversible procedure provides high-definition vision, UV protection, and rapid recovery, ideal for patients with thin corneas or high myopia unsuitable for laser surgery.
LASIK
Newsom Eye provides customized LASIK procedures using advanced laser technology to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our surgeons tailor treatments to each patients unique corneal shape, ensuring optimal visual acuity and minimal recovery time. With a focus on precision and safety, LASIK at Newsom Eye reduces dependency on glasses or contacts for active lifestyles.
Glaucoma Treatment
Newsom Eye offers comprehensive glaucoma management, including early detection, medication, laser therapy, and surgical interventions. Our team uses advanced diagnostics like OCT imaging and visual field testing to monitor optic nerve health and intraocular pressure. Treatments aim to preserve vision and prevent progression for patients with open-angle, narrow-angle, or normal-tension glaucoma.
Dry Eye Treatment
Newsom Eyes Dry Eye Clinic provides innovative therapies for chronic dry eye syndrome, including MiBo Thermoflo, autologous serum drops, and PROKERA corneal bandages. Our specialists address underlying causes like meibomian gland dysfunction or inflammation, offering personalized plans to restore ocular surface health and alleviate symptoms like burning, grittiness, or excessive tearing.

Amazing experience with Newsom Eye! Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. I went in with the intention of getting info on LASIK and the whole team convinced me. Flash forward two weeks and I have Newsom eyes! Thank you Doctors Bottaro and Hair for such a comfortable and easy procedure. Thank you Devon for making the scheduling and process so smooth.

Amazing Lasik experience at Newsom Eye! I was so anxious about having Lasik, and I could not have had a better experience. Devon was amazing and I could not have made it through the whole process without her and her positivity! Dr. Bottaro and Dr. Hair were absolutely fantastic - I would highly recommend them. They were both super friendly and walked me through the whole process, making me totally at ease. 10/10 would recommend!
