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
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.
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.
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
💡 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
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
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
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
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
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

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:
- including 2 follow-up checks within 4 months
- Installment payments starting at 19 € per month
- including 2 follow-up checks within 4 months
- Installment payments starting at 19 € per month
- 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.
