Farsightedness overview

Hyperopia is a refractive error of the eye in which either the eyeball is too short or the refractive power of the eye is too low. The focal point is therefore behind the retina instead of on it.

The closer an object is to the eye, the more blurred it becomes. However, people with strong farsightedness cannot see clearly either close up or in the distance. A long-sighted person has a positive dioptre (e.g. +4.0 dpt).

Farsightedness treatments

Lens surgery methods:

In cases of severe farsightedness or other visual defects, intraocular implants, i.e. lens implants, can also be used:

The appropriate method depends primarily on your dioptre and is determined in a personal consultation including a preliminary examination.

  • up to max. +4 diopters: Femto-LASIK/LASIK/Phake lenses/lens exchange
  • approx. +5 to +10 diopters Phakic lenses/lens exchange

In laser eye treatment for long-sightedness, the cornea is given a steeper curvature by the laser, which increases the refractive power of the eye.

Laser methods:

The following laser eye surgery methods can be used for this purpose:

  • LASIK
  • Femto-LASIK
