Is there laser lasik for farsighted vision?

Yes, there is laser LASIK for farsighted vision. This is where the eye is too short for the strength of the cornea, and the laser can reshape the cornea to correct most of these errors. In addition, astigmatism, if present, can be treated at the same time. Newer lasers do a better job at correcting farsightedness than some of the earlier lasers in that patients tend to have less regression of effect. This is one of the main risks with farsightedness treatment.

Farsightedness is sometimes not appreciated in younger people because they can "focus through" the error and see well, but as they get older the near and then the distance vision becomes blurrier. These patients are less likely to see an eye doctor and many times do not realize that the vision problem that they have can be helped with LASIK.

Presbyopia is the loss of ability to see at near, due to changes within the eye of the lens, and LASIK cannot fix this error, which some people also refer to as farsightedness. There is the option to have monovision correction, which will correct one eye for a better close focus and the other eye for distance as a solution to presbyopia.

A thorough eye examination by your eye doctor will reveal if you have true hyperopia or farsightedness or if it is an aging eye problem or presbyopia.

With astigmatism and a prescription of -7.25 and -6.75 will lasik work?

This prescription can be treated by many types of lasers and my personal experience is that LASIK can work for this correction. There are other things to consider however including how thick are the corneas, how large are the pupils, how much is the astigmatism, and what is the shape of the corneas to begin with. Only a full eye examination can fully answer this question, but many patients with very strong prescriptions can be successfully corrected by LASIK and regardless of the prescription, it is worth having a competent eye specialist evaluate your situation thoroughly. Many LASIK doctors such as ourselves offer no cost evaluations to help you make this determination.

Are floaters in the eye dangerous?

Not in themselves, but:If the floaters you see in your eye are the insignificant ones that have been there, to one degree or another for your whole life, they likely present no danger. Though annoying, the vast majority of floaters are harmless, and there are ways to prevent them through proper diet.

If, however, new floaters suddenly appear marked by bright light spots or streaks and dark moving specks, this could be a sign of retinal detachment, which can cause permanent blindness if not treated immediately.
