To offer Bladeless, laser-enhanCed CaTaraCT surgery
The team of board certified physicians at New Vision Eye
68
Center continues to dedicate themselves to offering the
latest technology to our community. Dr. Minotty explains,
“The laser for cataract surgery offers predictable outcomes
while affording a comfortable experience to the patient; it is
a true step forward in the realm of cataract surgery. The laser
pre-softens the cataract, allowing surgeons to decrease the
use of ultrasound energy to remove the cataract. Astigmatism
correction can be done simultaneously during cataract surgery
using the LenSx laser system, reducing the need for glasses.”
Dr. Stephen Tate says, “Laser enhanced cataract surgery
with astigmatism correction is a gentle, precise and highly
customizable procedure. We have had the system in place
for over a year now and have been more than pleased with
the results.” Drs. Minotty and Tate conducted extensive
investigation into the lasers available and selected the LenSx
for its performance and precision.
Together with Dr. Roger J. Meyer, Dr. David J. O’Brien, and Dr.
Paul L. Winslow, Drs. Minotty and Tate provide a wide range of
comprehensive eye care in a state-of-the-art facility, just across
from Indian River Medical Center.

a self-taught painter, Dr. M. Johnson Hagood,
DDS, has painted with oils since childhood.
Painting in a distinctive impressionistic style,
Dr. Hagood uses a palette of vivid color with brush and
palette knife to create works rife with movement and
light. His bold and deliberate brushstrokes evoke a
sense of energy, with occasional soft edges to present
a resting place for the eyes. His paintings have a sense of timelessness in
nature, as if he has captured the very moment nature has reached the
pinnacle of its beauty.
Dr. Hagood has been influenced most recently by the works of contemporary
French artist Jean Claude Roy, implementing more abstract applications
to some of his latest works. “My artistic mission,” says Hagood “is to
share my passion of the beauty of nature through color-rich impressions
of the very nature that inspires me.”
Dr. Hagood’s artistic abilities are
expressed in his dental practice, making
his cosmetic dentistry services highly
sought after by those interested in
improving their smiles. Dr. Hagood is
one of about 300 dentists in the world
accredited by the American Academy of
Cosmetic Dentistry for excellence in
cosmetic dental procedures. Vero
Beach Art of Dentistry is located at
2155 Ponce de Leon Circle in Vero Beach,
serving Treasure Coast patients and those that travel from across the country
