I am farsighted
Objects appear sharp in the distance;

Farsightedness (hyperopia)
Light rays are refracted by the cornea and the lens so that the focal point is behind the retina. Depending on the degree of farsightedness, objects close by and in some cases even far away appear blurred.

Which treatment methods are possible?
Farsightedness is basically correctable, hardly anyone has to live with glasses or contact lenses. The basis of a decision is always the medical results of our particularly detailed preliminary examination and a thorough consultation. In most cases, farsightedness can be corrected fast and painless with laser eye treatment, but other procedures are also available.
