== == People who are 'far sighted' or 'long sighted' see clearly in the distance but less clearly close up. Generally, there are two reasons for this: Hyperopia- light passing through the eye is focussed behind the retina. This is generally caused by the eye being too short or the cornea being too flat. Presbyopia- Natural and inevitable weakening of the eye muscles and lens elasticity causing poor up-close vision. Usually begins at around the age of 40 and will progress from then. Laser surgery will generally only be suitable for people with hyperopia and can be corrected effectively. New and improved methods of surgery can give excellent results very quickly with only a short healing period. In some cases, Laser surgery may be used to provide a patient with monovision. This is suitable for some people with presbyopia. One eye will be used for distance work, the other for close work. Suitability will first be determined with a contact lens trial.
