LASIK Vision Correction Options
Farsightedness

Poor visual acuity is primarily caused by refractive errors. These errors occur when the cornea is shaped in such a way that the images we see do not focus directly on the retina.

Farsightedness (Hyperopia)


When you are farsighted or hyperopic, images that are near (the words on a page, for example) appear to be more blurry than images in the distance. Your eyes may be too short, or your cornea too flat, so images focus behind the retina.
