Described herein are designs of intracorneal inlays to produce desired shapes of the cornea's anterior surface for correcting vision impairments. In an exemplarily embodiment, a thickness profile is defined by a difference between a desired post-operative anterior corneal surface that corrects a patient's vision impairment and the patient's pre-operative anterior corneal surface. An inlay is then dimensioned to substantially have the same thickness profile. When implanted in the patient's cornea, the thickness profile of the inlay is substantially transferred to the anterior corneal surface through the intervening corneal tissue, thereby producing the desired post-operative anterior corneal surface. |
