Treating long-sightedness (hyperopia) with laser eye surgery in Melbourne
Fed up with fumbling for your glasses or fiddling with your contacts? With the latest laser technology and vision correction treatments available, we could help you leave the hassles of hyperopia behind.
Long-sightedness (hyperopia) makes it hard to focus on nearby objects, and even your distance vision can be a blur. Glasses or contact lenses help you see by compensating for your vision problems. But relying on them can be inconvenient and hold you back from doing the things you love.
With laser eye surgery, we can relieve most patients of their long-sightedness. Once we assess your vision and eye health to see if you’re a candidate, we can recommend the most effective treatment for you. If you proceed with laser eye surgery, you could swap the specs, squinting and eyestrain for clearer vision – up-close, in the middle distance and far away.
A little bit of eye anatomy
If you’re considering laser eye surgery to correct your long-sightedness, it’s always good to know what’s going on. So let’s keep it simple.
Clear vision depends on how light focuses on your retina. In a perfect eye, light rays enter your eye and focus directly on the retina so you can see objects in detail.
In a long-sighted eye, the eyeball is shorter, or the cornea is flatter than usual. Light rays entering your eye focus behind your retina, leading to blurred vision.
Assessment & Discussion
Visit us for a free laser vision assessment at our Melbourne clinic, and we can accurately diagnose your long-sightedness and discuss your vision needs. Once we have all the details, we can determine if vision correction surgery is a safe and effective treatment option and which procedure is the best fit.
Treatment
If you’re suitable for a laser treatment, our surgeons make tiny corrections so your cornea is steeper. Light rays can focus accurately on the retina. And we correct any astigmatism at the same time.
We’ve helped thousands of patients achieve easier vision with laser eye surgery. Thanks to our scrupulous screening process and state-of-the-art technology, your treatment is customised with precision to correct your focusing power and improve your near and distance vision – without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
