  https://eyeinstitute.co.nz/long-sightedness/

  Long-sightedness (hyperopia) can make it difficult to focus on objects close up. We can correct this common eye problem with the latest vision correction treatments. Long-sightedness can affect people of all ages. Approximately 10% of adults have long-sightedness. Not all people with long-sightedness need glasses or contact lenses to correct it. Long-sightedness also known as hyperopia or farsightedness makes it difficult to focus on objects close up. Age-related long-sightedness is called presbyopia and relates to a stiffening of the eyes lens. Both types of long-sightedness are perfectly normal and easily treated. Long-sightedness is a refractive error caused by an imperfection in the eye. Hyperopia is an inherited condition, which means you’re more likely to suffer long-sightedness if one of your parents has it. Traditionally, many people treat their refractive error with glasses and contacts. However, for permanent vision correction and freedom from the hassles of glasses and contacts, laser vision correction is an excellent option. If untreated, long-sightedness can lead to headaches, eye strain, squinting, frequent blinking, difficulty working on a computer or reading. The best way to find out if vision correction is right for you is to book a free laser assessment. After treatment, New Zealanders across the country tell us how surprised they are by how quickly their life changed. They also mention that they wish they had done it years earlier! When people say yes to eye treatment, they say yes to a new life, free from the limitation of glasses and contacts! Discover if you could be free from glasses and contacts. Take the first step by getting your free laser suitability assessment to check if your eyes are suitable and which treatment option is right for your eyes.

  Both types of long-sightedness are perfectly normal and easily treated. […] Treatments for hyperopia are designed to change the way that light rays are bent when they enter the eye so that they come into a point of focus precisely on the retina. […] Another treatment option is refractive surgery, where the cornea is reshaped to change the way it bends entering light rays. […] Hyperopia can also be treated by implanting a prescription lens inside the eye where it works with the rest of the eyes natural focusing system to refocus light rays precisely on the retina. […] For permanent vision correction and freedom from the hassles of glasses and contacts, we have a range of refractive eye surgery treatments for correcting long sightedness short sightedness. […] During a consultation your eye surgeon will talk with you about each treatment option, looking in depth at the most suitable treatment option for your needs to give you the best outcome. […] When hyperopia causes blurry vision, these treatments may help restore clearer vision, making daily activities much easier.

  https://www.ultralase.com/blog/long-sightedness-hyperopia/

  Long-sightedness is generally treated with prescription glasses or contact lenses. This is particularly beneficial for children that do not outgrow the condition as they age, as it can be easily treated. If the condition is left untreated, hyperopia in children can lead to other conditions such as strabismus (cross-eye) and amblyopia (lazy eye). Luckily, wearing prescription glasses from an early age can prevent these conditions from developing. […] For those aged 18 and above, corrective treatments such as laser eye surgery may be another option available for hyperopia treatment, if you’re starting to get sick of wearing lenses all the time. At Ultralase, we offer both LASIK and LASEK treatments that can correct hyperopia, along with other conditions such as myopia and astigmatism. Alternatively, if you are unsuitable for laser eye surgery, you may be suitable for ICL (Implantable Contact Lenses) surgery where a small lens is implanted into the eye. We also provide RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) surgery where your natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens.

  During PRK surgery, Dr Bill Ward will remove the top layer of your cornea (called the epithelium) and use a special laser (called an excimer laser) to sculpt the underlying layers of your cornea according to your prescription. The excimer laser uses beams to vaporise tiny amounts of tissue from your cornea without damaging the surrounding areas. The result creates a smoother, flatter corneal surface that can better focus light on your retina, helping up-close objects appear less blurry. […] At Optilase, the PRK laser eye procedure to correct hyperopia usually takes less than 30 seconds per eye. After your surgery, you may experience minor discomfort, light sensitivity, or blurred vision for a few days, but these are normal and temporary side effects.

  https://nethradhama.org/blog/hypermetropia/

  When your eye can only view objects that are far away but not the nearby ones clearly, it leads to a condition called hypermetropia, also known as long-sightedness or farsightedness. […] The most common hypermetropia treatment is prescription glasses or contact lenses. These can be used after being examined and diagnosed by an ophthalmologist. The prescribed glasses have positive lenses to enhance the eyes focusing power. […] If vision is severely affected, refractive surgery can be performed to change the shape of the cornea and correct vision. Lasik eye surgery or lens replacement surgery are other common options. […] Presbyond Laser Blended Vision is an innovative refractive surgery technique that can address hypermetropia, especially in patients with presbyopia (age-related difficulty in focusing on near objects). […] Presbyond offers a cutting-edge alternative for hypermetropic patients, particularly those seeking a long-term solution for both farsightedness and presbyopia.

  https://www.alexshortt.co.uk/long-sightedness-hyperopia/

  Long-sightedness occurs because of a combination of genetic factors and a mismatch between the power of the cornea and the length of the eye. Long-sighted patients typically have shorter than average eyes. […] You can correct long-sightedness using: glasses and contact lenses, laser eye surgery, implantable contact lenses (ICL). […] In older patients, lens replacement or refractive lens exchange and multifocal lens implants may be the treatment of choice, especially after 50 years of age. […] Most infants are slightly long-sighted when born. As the eye grows, the degree of long-sightedness reduces. Most infants become normal sighted (or emmetropic) by school age. […] Once the eye has finished growing, the amount of hyperopia is stable, so the glasses prescription rarely changes after that. In most patients, this occurs after age 18 to 21. It is for this reason that laser eye surgeons do not treat patients under 18. They usually treat those 21 years of age or older.

  https://optilase.com.au/prk-laser-eye-surgery-for-long-sightedness/

  During PRK surgery, Dr Bill Ward will remove the top layer of your cornea (called the epithelium) and use a special laser (called an excimer laser) to sculpt the underlying layers of your cornea according to your prescription. The excimer laser uses beams to vaporise tiny amounts of tissue from your cornea without damaging the surrounding areas. The result creates a smoother, flatter corneal surface that can better focus light on your retina, helping up-close objects appear less blurry. […] At Optilase, the PRK laser eye procedure to correct hyperopia usually takes less than 30 seconds per eye. After your surgery, you may experience minor discomfort, light sensitivity, or blurred vision for a few days, but these are normal and temporary side effects. You will need to use the prescribed eye drops, apply a gel eye mask to ease inflammation and wear sunglasses to protect your eyes against light sensitivity. You will also need to avoid rubbing or touching your eyes, swimming, or wearing makeup for at least a week after PRK surgery. You will notice an improvement in your vision within a few days after PRK surgery, but it may take several weeks or months for your vision to stabilise completely.
