Answer: High hyoeropia This level of hyperopia or far-sightedness is beyond the level treatable with excimer laser technology. This leaves two options for you, hyperopic ICL surgery or clear kens exchange. With ICL surgery an implant lens is placed in the eye. This implantable "contact lens" is available in Europe but will require a comprehensive evaluation to determine its safety for you. The other choice is clear lens exchange surgery. In this scenario the crystalline lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an implant lens in the identical manner cararact surgery is performed. This method has been made even safer with the advent of femtosecond laser technology.
