Refractive surgery for farsightedness is certainly less predictable then for nearsightedress However an experienced reflective surgeon should be able to correct low grade hyperopia such as yours. The progression in your reading class requirement suggest that you are becoming presbyopic, which is a separate issue from pure farsightedness. You will likely still need to wear reading glasses even if your hyperopia is corrected.
Sound like your +1.00 for distance and needing +1.25 for a total of +2.25 for near.Under 2 diopters of hyperopia, Lasik works nicely. Over that, not so much. You will need reading glasses afterwards. I would only correct the distance you are young.If considering monovision, you owe yourself a trial in contact lenses. Not everyone loves monovision 24/7.Finally, a true cycloplegic exam is a must. Many people are able to strain and make the RX seem less than it is. This exam (not a dilated exam but a refraction done exactly 30 minutes after instillation of Cyclogyl) can dramatically help the success of the procedure by the information it gives.
The best way to deal with this cosmetic issue is to surgically remove the pigmented areas. My preferred eye whitener is LUMIFY but it will address redness not the pigmented brown areas.
This prescription can be treated but I would only do it with the Wavelight laser system as it is fda approved to treat 6d of hyperopia. 1050 hz laser is not available in the USA.
ICL will be my preferred procedure if you are otherwise fit for it. Leaving power in either eye is generally not my preferred option and we will also need to look at your tomography/ topography reports before making final decisions.
