Does LASIK enhancement for hyperopia require a longer recovery period?

Doctor's Answer

Hi, generally speaking, it is quite common to have some amount of haziness of vision in the early period after laser procedures, although this is usually least for LASIK as compared to other procedures like epiLASIK/PRK or even SMILE. Also, usually there is no/minimal difference whether it is LASIK enhancement for myopia or hyperopia.

I would agree with Dr Chan that it is difficult to advise further unless we have further information and have a chance to examine your eyes.

Some of the information that we might need to evaluate include:

  • Your actual visual acuity
  • Refraction test
  • Current corneal topography, and
  • A slit lamp examination of your eye

These can only be done in clinic and so I think it is best to revert to your doctor for further clarification.
