Hyperopia can be treated with laser eye surgery . The most common types of laser eye surgery for hyperopia are:
- SMILE Pro (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. SMILE Pro has the least affect on corneal nerves so possibly the least risk of dry eye, which can be a little more of a concern in older patients. . Laser Vision SA is extremely proud to be one of only 16 eye clinics world wide to be appointed by Zeiss to introduce SMILE Pro hyperopic treatments for patients.
- LASIK (Laser Assisted In-situ Keratomileusis): In LASIK for hyperopia we use laser to create a very thin (80um) layer of cornea, under which we reshape corneal tissue with a laser to correct astigmatism, and then replace the thin layer.
