Do You Have Reading Vision Problems?
Many people experience difficulty reading after the age of 40. If you vision has deteriorated and you are tired of the hassles of reading glasses Dr. Fichman might have a solution for you!;
LASIK eye surgery is most commonly performed on Myopic patients or people that have a hard time seeing far away. This is also called nearsightedness. Many people that require reading glasses might not think they are a candidate for LASIK. Hyperopic patients or those that have trouble seeing up close can also be candidates for LASIK eye surgery.
Hyperopic LASIK works by treating the peripheral or outer part of the cornea. Corneal tissue is removed with the excimer laser, which results in the steepening of the central cornea. The recovery from hyperopic LASIK is similar to that of myopic LASIK. Taking good care of yourself and and applying eye drops will be important in both myopic and hyperopic LASIK. Hyperopic LASIK is slightly more limited than Myopic LASIK and tends to be performed up to +4.00 diopters of hyperopia. If you are farsighted or hyperopic please consult Dr. Fichman directly to see if hyperopic LASIK would be a good option.
Please click here to see our Hyperopic Eye Disorder Animation for a better understanding of hyperopia or farsightedness.
If you are a patient that has more than +4.00 diopters of myopia LASIK might not be the best vision correction option. Because Dr. Richard Fichman is a complete ophthalmologist and vision correction specialist we can suggest other procedures. The Crystalens intraocular lens implants could potentially be an option depending on your age.
