Hyperopia

Description

Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, hypermetropia, or longsightedness, is a common vision problem where it’s difficult to focus on nearby objects due to a short eyeball or a flatter-than-normal cornea. People with hyperopia often find distant objects clearer, but may struggle with reading, using smartphones, or doing other close-up tasks, sometimes experiencing eye strain or headaches. Both adults and children can be affected, and the condition often worsens with age. Common treatments for hyperopia include glasses, contact lenses, and modern alternatives like LASIK or LASEK laser eye surgery, which are available in advanced clinics across South Korea. If you’re tired of reaching for your reading glasses or want a more permanent solution, understanding your options for hyperopia correction could greatly improve your quality of life.

BGN Eye Clinic Busan is a state-of-the-art eye care facility offering advanced vision correction solutions, including SMILE, LASIK, LASEK, ICL, and cataract surgeries. Vision Correction Procedures SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction): A minimally invasive laser procedure that corrects nearsightedness and astigmatism by removing a small piece of corneal tissue. LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): This laser procedure reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. LASEK (Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy): A less invasive laser treatment than LASIK, suitable for patients with thinner corneas, that involves reshaping the cornea after removing the outer layer. SMILE PRO: An enhanced version of SMILE offering greater precision and quicker recovery through advanced laser technology. Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) ICL: An implantable lens is placed inside the eye, in front of the natural lens, to correct high degrees of myopia and astigmatism, particularly for those with thin corneas. Cataract and Presbyopia Surgery Cataract Surgery with Monofocal Intraocular Lenses: Involves removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a monofocal intraocular lens to restore clear vision, typically for distance. Presbyopia Surgery with Multifocal Intraocular Lenses: Removes cataracts and corrects presbyopia through the implantation of multifocal lenses, which provide both near and distance vision. General Procedures Pre- and Post-Surgery Instructions: Detailed pre-operative and post-operative guidelines are provided to maximize the effectiveness and safety of all surgical procedures.
