Farsightedness corrected: Never see out of focus again

Farsightedness – medically known as hyperopia – means that close-up objects appear blurred, reading is a strain and glasses are a constant burden.
Depending on its severity, this visual defect becomes noticeable sooner or later – often gradually, but increasingly disruptive in everyday life.

The good news is that this visual defect can now be reliably corrected – permanently and safely.

Hyperopia in conjunction with myopia or astigmatism? No problem:

Many patients not only have long-sightedness, but also a slight astigmatism or incipient short-sightedness.
At Smartlaser, such combinations are not an obstacle, but are part of everyday practice.

With the right method, several visual defects can be corrected at the same time – for a life without glasses or contact lenses.

Living glasses-free - even with long-sightedness

  • 1. See clearly in any everyday situation
  • 2. No more dependence on glasses
  • 3. Systematic vision - once corrected, permanently sharp
See clearly in any everyday situation

Whether reading, cooking, working or doing sport – no more constant focusing, no more reaching for your glasses. A clear view of the beautiful things in life.

No more dependence on glasses

Forget searching, cleaning and carrying. The new freedom begins with sharp vision from the moment you get up – until you go to bed in the evening.

Systematic vision - once corrected, permanently sharp

The refractive power is permanently adjusted. The result: a clear image – near and far, without any readjustment. Correction is possible at any time.

SmartLaser offers the perfect solution: Femto-LASIK or PRK

Femto-LASIK 7D for the correction of long-sightedness
The most modern method at SmartLaser: Femto-LASIK with 7D tracking technology. It is particularly suitable for mild to moderate long-sightedness, with or without astigmatism.

💡 How does it work?
A wafer-thin flap is precisely prepared with the femtosecond laser. The excimer laser then models the cornea in a targeted manner so that the light rays are focused precisely on the retina - just like in an eye with normal vision.
  • Fast healing, usually within 24-48 hours
  • High visual comfort immediately after the procedure
  • Ideal for +1.0 to +4.0 diopters of hyperopia
The classic: PRK makes you independent of glasses & co
Classic PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) is a proven procedure for correcting mild long-sightedness, even in special cases such as thin corneas.

PRK is used when Femto-LASIK is not suitable, e.g. for certain corneal shapes or occupational restrictions.
  • No flap formation - robust & safe
  • Longer healing time, but permanently good result
  • Suitable for values up to approx. +2.5 diopters hyperopia
PRK
Trans-PRK - generally not suitable for hyperopia
Although Trans-PRK is non-contact and very gentle, it is rarely used for long-sightedness. The reason: in hyperopia, the cornea must be built up in a more targeted manner, which is physically limited with trans-PRK.

We check your suitability in detail - and only recommend what really makes sense for your eyes.

3 steps to a new life without visual defects:

Today, farsightedness can be corrected precisely, quickly and permanently. At SmartLaser, we accompany you step by step - professionally, personally and safely.

  • 1. Preliminary Examination
  • 2. Refractive surgery
  • 3. Follow-up Care
Preliminary Examination

We record all relevant data in our comprehensive preliminary examination:
Corneal thickness, refractive power, pupil size, diopter values – and clarify whether there is a combination with other visual defects.

  • Duration: about 60 minutes
  • Cost: € 150 (valid for 3 months)
  • Including individual recommendation by our medical specialists
Refractive surgery

On the day of your procedure, your farsightedness will be permanently corrected using the method best suited for you— Femto-LASIK or PRK.
The procedure itself takes only a few minutes per eye and is completely painless.

  • Precise reshaping of the cornea
  • No injection, no anesthetic – just eye drops
  • Afterwards: short rest period and walk home with an escort
Follow-up Care

We’ll be there for you after your procedure:
Two follow-up appointments within 4 months are included in the price.

  • Control examinations to ensure the healing process
  • Individual care instructions and drop plan
  • Quick return to everyday life – without glasses or contact lenses

Am I suitable for laser eye surgery for long-sightedness?

Not everyone is automatically suitable for laser treatment for hyperopia (long-sightedness) - but at SmartLaser we check this very carefully.

  • Femto-LASIK 7D:
    → +0.5 to +4.0 dpt hyperopia (can also be combined with astigmatism)
    → ideal for stable refractive errors and a sufficiently thick cornea

  • PRK:
    → +0.5 to +2.5 dpt
    → recommended for thin corneas or special requirements (e.g., certain occupations)

  • Trans-PRK:
    → Generally not recommended for farsightedness due to insufficient tissue suitability

Basic requirements for laser eye surgery:

  • Age from approx. 18 years, with stable diopter values for at least 12 months

  • No acute eye diseases, inflammations or chronic corneal diseases

  • Sufficient corneal thickness for the planned ablation

  • No pregnancy or breastfeeding at the time of surgery

  • No untreated systemic diseases that affect wound healing

An investment that pays off: farsightedness correction costs

Laser eye surgery for long-sightedness is a one-off procedure with a lasting effect – for a better quality of life, visual comfort and independence.

The costs at SmartLaser:

Femto-LASIK:
1,350 € per eye
  • including 2 follow-up checks within 4 months
  • Installment payments starting at 19 € per month
PRK:
950 € per eye
  • including 2 follow-up checks within 4 months
  • Installment payments starting at 19 € per month
PRK
Preliminary examination:
150 € (valid for 3 months)
  • all medical-optical measurements
  • including individual process recommendation

Statutory health insurance generally does not cover the costs of correcting farsightedness, as it is considered a refractive, cosmetic procedure.
However, private supplemental insurance or special-class plans may offer subsidies or reimbursements —we would be happy to assist you with the application process.

Have presbyopia / presbyopia lasered:

Not all cases of farsightedness are the same:
Age-related farsightedness —medically known as presbyopia —is not a classic refractive error like hyperopia, but rather an age-related reduction in the ability to accommodate.

This means:
As we age, the eye’s lens loses its elasticity.
It can no longer curve enough to focus on nearby objects—near vision becomes blurry, especially when reading or working at a computer screen.

Laser eye surgery for presbyopia: other procedures are better

Classic laser eye correction (e.g. with Femto-LASIK or PRK) is only suitable to a limited extent for pure presbyopia, as the loss of accommodation cannot simply be “lasered away”.

Alternative procedures such as PresbyMAX or multifocal lens techniques offer a personalized solution specifically for correcting presbyopia.
At SmartLaser, we’d be happy to advise you on this as well—honestly, transparently, and with your vision goals in mind.
