A member asked:
I wanna do a laser therapy on my eye cause i have (hyperopia ) for 12 years can i do it or it wont get better ?

Yes: Hyperopia can be corrected with laser vision surgery. There are, of course, risks. The amount of visual improvement will not be significantly better than what you can achieve with a glass or contact lens.
