About Me

Dr. Lara Newman is an ophthalmologist specializing in cornea and external eye disease, cataract surgery, and refractive surgery. She practices in Greenville, South Carolina, where she focuses on providing patients with the best possible vision outcomes. Dr. Newman enjoys building long-term relationships with her patients through continuous clinical and surgical care.

She finds cornea care particularly rewarding as it combines her surgical interests, including transplant surgery, with the diagnostic challenges of clinical medicine. Each patient's case is unique, which she appreciates for the intellectual and personal engagement it offers.

Outside of her medical practice, Dr. Newman is a busy mother of two young children. She and her family enjoy exploring the nature preserves and parks in the Greenville area, and they appreciate the community's friendly atmosphere. In her spare time, she indulges in cooking and baking, playing piano, and tending her vegetable garden.
