A method for improving vision in a human eye having a macula disease and in particular macula degeneration by inducing a prism in the cornea of an eye using a laser beam to ablate the central cornea into a prismatic shape. Also, an apparatus and method for implanting a synthetic prism into the cornea is provided. The resulting prism either induced or implanted in the cornea directs rays of light away from a diseased area of the macula to an undiseased macula area of the retina for improved sight.
