Weitsichtigkeit Lasern WIEN ► Augenlaserzentrum Dr. Atamniy

Laser Treatment for Farsightedness at the Laser Eye Center 1180 Vienna

Farsightedness of up to +4 diopters can be corrected easily, safely, and quickly using laser technology. The laser precisely reshapes the cornea to correct the refractive error.
After the treatment, you can immediately enjoy life without glasses or contact lenses.

We are happy to provide you with comprehensive advice in a free initial consultation and recommend the laser treatment that suits you best.

What is farsightedness and how is it diagnosed?

Farsightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a refractive error of the eye. People affected can no longer see nearby objects clearly, whereas objects in the distance are perceived more easily.

In this type of visual impairment, the eye is too short in relation to its refractive power. As a result, the focal point does not fall directly on the retina but behind it. This causes nearby objects to appear blurred.
In a normal (emmetropic) eye, the focal point lies directly on the retina.

Farsightedness is diagnosed through an eye examination by an ophthalmologist or optician. This includes an objective refraction test, using a special device to determine how much the eye's refractive power deviates from the ideal. The result is expressed in diopters (D).

What types of farsightedness are there?

There are two forms of farsightedness:

Refractive hyperopia (or refractive hypermetropia) occurs when the refractive power of the eye's optical system (which includes the cornea, lens, vitreous body, and aqueous humor) is too weak, even though the eye itself has a normal length.
Axial hyperopia occurs when the refractive power of the eye is normal, but the eyeball is too short. This shortening is often genetically determined, meaning that one or both parents may have passed on the axial hyperopia to their child.

What symptoms does farsightedness cause?

Farsightedness is often partially compensated by the eye’s ability to focus at near distances (accommodation). However, this constant effort can lead to symptoms such as headaches, eye strain, burning eyes, and rapid eye fatigue. When farsightedness is corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or laser treatment, the eyes can relax, and these symptoms often subside.

How can farsightedness be corrected?

Farsightedness can be easily corrected with contact lenses or appropriate eyeglasses. These visual aids use convex (plus) lenses to increase the eye’s overall refractive power,

allowing nearby objects to once again be focused directly on the retina. The degree of hyperopia is therefore indicated in positive diopters (e.g. +3 D).

Alternatively, farsightedness can also be corrected using laser eye surgery. We are happy to provide you with detailed advice in a free initial consultation and recommend the laser treatment best suited to your needs.
