Treating Hyperopia

Reading time: 1 min
Glasses with a tick indicating that they are correct

Prescription glasses or contact lenses.  

Eye surgery

Laser surgery in adults. A previous study must be carried out to evaluate whether the patient is a potential candidate for surgery. 

Eye with contact lens

Surgery with implantation of an ocular lens (similar to cataract surgery).  

It should be taken into account that hyperopia progresses with age, normally from the age of 40 with the appearance of presbyopia, which means that people who use glasses for hyperopia should see that their condition will vary and increase over the years.
