Both alcohol-assisted PRK and femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK are safe and effective for the treatment of hyperopia. PRK induces slightly more postoperative astigmatism than LASIK. Larger optical zones, and recently introduced ablation profiles that lead to a smoother ablation surface might improve the clinical results of hyperopic PRK.
