Can long sightedness be corrected permanently?

Yes. While glasses and contact lenses manage the symptoms of long sightedness, they do not correct the underlying condition and must be worn indefinitely. Centre for Sight offers several permanent or long-lasting surgical treatments for long sightedness, including laser eye surgery (such as LASIK and LASEK), Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL), and Laser Lens Replacement. During a consultation, Centre for Sight’s expert surgeons will assess your eyes and recommend the most suitable treatment based on your prescription, corneal anatomy, age, and lifestyle.
