It absolutely can! However, for both nearsighted and farsighted correction there are limits. Also, laser correction for farsighted (Hyperopia) eyes is generally less accurate than laser correction for nearsighted eyes.
Yes
Lasik eye surgery is moderately effective for the correction of low degrees of hyperopia ( +1.00 D to +3.00 D), but some regression was observed over the course of a 5-year follow-up period.
Yes, it can and is routinely done. Hyperopia/farsightedness may return to
some extent after some time, more than myopia/nearsightedness.

Yes. Laser vision correction can correct farsightedness.
Yes you can possibly have laser for this condition but you really need to be evaluated for full measurements by an ophthalmologist beforehand.
