A device and method for permanently correcting refractive errors in the eye. An optical element, such as a lens, having at least one opening therein for the diffusion of nutrients from a recipient's cornea, is positioned on the recipient's cornea and held in place by an optical covering, such as a donor cornea. The covering covers the optical element, and is attached to the recipient's cornea by means of, for example, sutures.
