Frequently Asked Questions
Is farsightedness the same as needing reading glasses?
Not exactly. Hyperopia (farsightedness) is a refractive error present from birth, while presbyopia (needing reading glasses) is age-related loss of near focus that typically starts after age 40.
Can children have hyperopia?
Yes, many children are naturally slightly farsighted. Most outgrow mild hyperopia, but moderate to severe cases need correction to prevent eye strain, headaches, or amblyopia.
Can LASIK correct farsightedness?
Yes, LASIK can correct hyperopia by steepening the cornea. However, results depend on the degree of farsightedness, and some patients may need enhancement procedures.
Does insurance cover Hyperopia (Farsightedness) treatment?
Most vision and medical insurance plans cover diagnostic exams and medically necessary treatments. We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your coverage before treatment.
