EYE SURGERIES
Even though there are many different surgical interventions which may successfully deal with hyperopia, one of the most trustworthy solutions is laser intervention. It is more popular compared to traditional interventions because of reduced risks of eye damage. It is also preventing from infections if it is properly performed, because none of he used devices enters the eye.

Step 4: Flap is returned to its initial position. Natural suction provides its stillness.
In UK, LASIK surgery is one of the most popular laser eye operations, but if patient’s cornea is thinner than usual, surgeons usually perform PRK or LASEK intervention.
2. PRK surgery (Photorefractive keratectomy)
PRK intervention is constantly tracked by computer monitoring. During this intervention, laser device removes a part of corneal external layer and it modifies corneal shape. Amount of removed tissue is relatively small but it depends on the quality of your sight. When the procedure is finished, your cornea will be left to heal. Recovery period after this type of intervention may last up to half a year.
