After a ReLEx SMILE surgery, is it possible to develop farsightedness (hyperopia)?

Doctor's Answer

Hyperopia may develop after any form of refractive surgery (including ReLEx SMILE) due to an over-correction of myopia.

Presbyopia will also develop in ALL patients between the ages of 40-45 years, irrespective of whether they have had refractive surgery or not.
