Yes, hyperopia (farsightedness) can increase the risk of developing angle-closure glaucoma, especially in older adults. This happens because farsighted eyes often have a shallower anterior chamber, which can lead to blocked fluid drainage and increased eye pressure.

There are several different types of laser surgery for treating different types of glaucoma. Some types of glaucoma do not require laser surgery and can be treated with medication. Inquiring with the doctor over the case should establish this. If the glaucoma has become severe laser surgery is often the last option before actual invasive surgery. It is rare that there is a loss of eye site due to this type of surgery. It should be noted that this surgery can not return eyesight that has already been lost nor can it cure glaucoma. As such, consistent careful monitoring after the surgery is necessary. This will decrease the chances of severe side effects as well.
