"Being able to treat farsightedness is a real advancement",. notes Dr. Stahl. "Farsighted patients can not see up close or far away without lenses, thus they are especially motivated to have LASIK surgery. The recovery for farsighted patients is substantially longer than for nearsightedness, and we still can not treat astigmatism with farsightedness [note, this changed in 2000, see latest news and technology page]. Future advances will offer even better help for farsighted patients." • Set Up a Free Personal Consult...

Dr.
Brian R. Stahl performed Ohio's first ever LASIK laser vision correction
for farsightedness. WDTN, TV 2 broadcast this exciting event
on live TV. LASIK has been available for nearsightedness for some
time, but only recently has it been available to treat farsightedness.
The patient, William Woods of Dayton, was very pleased with his results.
"Hey, I can see my watch without my glasses for the first time in 15
years!" was Woods' initial response after his laser vision
correction. Mr. Woods was 20/40 O.U. within one-half hour of his
treatment.
