High myopia (short sighedness) and high hyperopia (longsightedness), with or without astigmatism can also be treated with laser eye surgery. The most common types of laser eye surgery for myopia and hyperopia are:

1. SMILE Pro with OcuLign (Minimally invasive no flap laser eye surgery): The least invasive vision correction technology for myopia involves creating a and very superficial 2mm short incision in the surface of your cornea and removing a very thin amount of cornea to correct astigmatism, treating from – 10.0 to +6.0 D
   
2. LASIK (Laser Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis): This procedure involves creating a thin flap in the cornea, reshaping the underlying corneal tissue with a laser to correct the refractive error, and then repositioning the flap, treating from -11.0 +7 Dioptres
3. PHAKIC INTRAOCULAR LENSES (IOL). Implantation of these behind the pupil can treat even higher levels of myopia and hyperopia in many patients.
4. CLEAR LENS EXTRACTION AND IOL IMPLANTATION where the natural lens behind your pupil is replaced with an artificial lens, in a procedure similar to cataract surgery.
5. COMBINED LASER AND IOL IMPLANTATIONS have treated extreme myopia and hyperopia very successfully
