ABSTRACT:
A process for predictably recurving the cornea of an eye by disposing light-absorbing color bodies in the cornea, and then vaporizing at least some of the color bodies with light energy according to a predetermined pattern to form corneal-recurving scars. The light energy is focused in the cornea and defocused and diffused behind the cornea. The color bodies used are of a transient nature, and those not vaporized fade and disperse out of the cornea in due course.
