Long-sightedness can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Correction is achieved by increasing the refractive power of the optical system, i.e. by moving the focus point forward onto the retina. The refractive power of the glasses lenses is shown with a plus sign (e.g. +2 dioptres).
As an alternative to glasses or contact lenses, the treatment of mild or medium long-sightedness with Femto LASIK is possible. For severe cases of long-sightedness, lens implants can be used. In combination with presbyopia, long-sightedness can be corrected by placing multifocal intraocular lenses.
