Last October I had cataract surgery in both eyes at the Newsom Eye and Laser Center. I had been referred to another eye center but I didn't care for the doctor or post surgery scheduling, so I decided to try Dr. Newsom and went for a consult with him.

Next, I have to say that his opinion that the front-page Tribune coverage of the recent "Lesbian Super Bowl" is "Pandering to Special Interests" is one of the more ludicrous opinions I've seen recently. ...more
