Occurs when the cornea is too flat or the eye is too short. This causes light to focus at a point beyond the retina, mostly commonly causing blurry near vision.
Corrective procedures for Farsightedness (hyperopia)

Epi-LASIK or Advanced Surface Treatment (AST)
A type of laser vision correction that involves treatment to the surface of the cornea, without creating an incision flap.
