The good news is that LASIK, or laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis, is not only for those with nearsightedness but also proves effective for farsighted individuals.

While LASIK is effective in correcting farsightedness, it is also a successful solution in correcting other refractive errors as well, including: Nearsightedness. Also known as myopia, this condition allows close objects to remain clear, but distant objects appear blurry. LASIK eye surgery corrects myopia by flattening the cornea to decrease its focusing power, which helps light rays to focus and refract more accurately on the retina. ● Astigmatism. This occurs when the cornea is irregularly shaped, causing vision to be blurry at any distance. LASIK can reshape the cornea into a more spherical shape, improving the way light rays are focused onto the retina. ● It is always important to discuss with your eye surgeon to determine if LASIK is the best treatment option for you.
