Laser eye surgery for someone with severe farsightedness?
I am farsighted and it's a severe case. My gl es prescription is plus 5. My eye doctor told me not to get laser surgery because my case was so severe. I have heard laser surgery is not that good for people with farsightedness. Is this true / will this change in the future?- I am far sighted as - well with 2 and same as you I thought of taking eye surgery it is expensive and it says "Your eyes will get better" so if it doesn't which doesn't say that I would just go for it and if something wrong happens, sue them and then you will have a free operation or health insurance, always get health insurance
- The reason LASIK and other laser procedures do not work well on far sightedness is that your cornea needs to be steeper. People who are nearsighted need flatter corneas. It is much easier to make something flatter by removing material than it is to make it steeper
- There are three areas of concern with large hyperopic corrections. 1. As per other answers, central cornea needs to be steepened as opposed to flattened. 2. The cornea can only be steepened so far. 3. Many young patients suffer from latent hyperopia - in other words, you may be 5. 00 at the moment, but in fact when the accommodative nature of the eye is precluded during a cyclo refraction, you may in fact have a much higher prescription. So, one needs to establish the complete prescription, if there is little to no difference between your current and cyclo refractions then you have the potential for a decent treatment. Secondly, you will need a flat cornea, fortunately this is a typical attribute of large hyperopic patients. Thirdly and most importantly is your choice of treatment provider. This decision from your perspective is relatively simple - there is only one laser platform in the world that can accurately deal with large hyperopic prescriptions - an Allegretto Wavelight. Find yourself a laser provider that uses the Wavelight Allegretto and go from there. Depending on where in the world you are, I may be able to recommend not only who uses these platforms but also some reputable clinics to choose from. Kind regards
