You're far-sighted. Originally, surgery for that condition was unavailable. But, depending on why you're far-sighted, you may nowadays qualify for surgery.
Make an appointment for a consultation. |

I was near-sighted, but I had my LASEK surgery done here http://www.eye1004.co.kr/ - the consultation is free, there are English-speaking doctors, nurses, and support staff, and it was cheaper than the Dream Eye Clinic. Reason being, Dream Eye Clinic bills itself as "foreigner-friendly/English-speaking" so they charge a bit extra. I do remember both places saying it is possible, just uncommon, to do surgery to correct far-sightedness.
The consultation at that clinic and most as I know is always free, so go to as many places as you need to and get as many surgeon's opinions as you need to feel comfortable - these are your eyes we are talking about here  |
