The treatment of hyperopia (farsightedness) with laser thermokeratoplasty (LTK) is an exciting new addition to the refractive surgical procedures that eye surgeons may now offer to patients. Over 70 million people in the U.S. alone are hyperopic and as many as 80% of those may be candidates for this procedure. There are always new procedures that may be possible to treat hyperopia just as well. Discuss your options with your ophthalmologist.
