Hyperopia (long-sightedness) is a refractive error that makes near vision difficult and, in advanced cases, distance vision too. Refractive surgery can correct this problem permanently, eliminating or reducing dependence on glasses and contact lenses.

More than 95% of patients achieve complete independence from glasses and contact lenses.

Excimer laser surgery has been performed successfully for more than 30 years.

Full visual recovery is usually achieved within 48–72 hours.

What is Hyperopia and how is it corrected?

Hyperopia occurs when the eye is shorter than normal or the cornea is not curved enough, causing light to focus behind the retina instead of directly on it.

🔹 Main symptoms:

✅ Difficulty seeing up close
✅ Eye strain and headaches
✅ Needing to strain your eyes to read or use screens
✅ In severe cases, blurred vision at any distance

Refractive surgery changes the curvature of the cornea or implants an intraocular lens to correct hyperopia permanently.

Advanced options tailored to your case

At Clínica Ramírez & Gálvez, we offer a range of surgical techniques to correct hyperopia in a personalised way:

🔹 LASIK
One of the most widely used techniques for correcting hyperopia. The cornea is reshaped with an excimer laser, improving the eye's ability to focus.

🔹 Femto-LASIK
A variant of LASIK that uses a femtosecond laser, providing greater precision and a faster recovery.

🔹 PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
Indicated for patients with thin corneas. It does not require creating a corneal flap, although recovery is slower.

🔹 Phakic Intraocular Lenses (ICL)
An ideal option for patients with high hyperopia or corneas unsuitable for laser surgery. Lenses are implanted inside the eye without altering the cornea.

Femtosecond Laser:
Advanced Precision and Safety

💎 The most advanced technology to correct your vision

At Clínica Ramírez & Gálvez we rely on Refractive Surgery with Femtosecond Laser, the most advanced and safest technique for correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Compared with traditional LASIK surgery, Femto-LASIK offers greater precision, safety and faster recovery thanks to its femtosecond laser technology, which makes an extremely precise cut in the cornea without the need for blades.

This procedure minimises risks, shortens recovery time and improves visual outcomes, offering surgery tailored to each patient. If you are looking for the best option to correct your vision with maximum safety, femtosecond laser surgery is the most advanced solution available.
