GAINESVILLE, Fla., Dec. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- T. Hunter Newsom, MD, a distinguished Tampa-based ophthalmologist and founder of Newsom Eye, has returned to his hometown of Gainesville, Florida, and is adding a new location, Eye Associates of Gainesville. Dr. T. Hunter Newsom brings a wealth of expertise in advanced eye care, including the pioneering Light Adjustable Lens and Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL) for keratoconus patients, and will be working alongside his father, William Newsom, MD.

T. Hunter Newsom, MD, a board-certified ophthalmologist, specializes in cataract, LASIK surgery, and the EVO Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) procedures.

He is actively engaged in various ophthalmology research and development projects and holds memberships in several professional associations.
