A conformable covering comprises an outer portion with rigidity to resist movement on the cornea and an inner portion to contact the cornea and provide an environment for epithelial regeneration. The inner portion of the covering can be configured in many ways so as to conform at least partially to an ablated stromal surface so as to correct vision. The conformable inner portion may have at least some rigidity so as to smooth the epithelium such that the epithelium regenerates rapidly and is guided with the covering so as to form a smooth layer for vision. The inner portion may comprise an amount of rigidity within a range from about 1&#xd7;10&#x2212;4 Pa*m3 to about 5&#xd7;10&#x2212;4 Pa*m3 so as to deflect and conform at least partially to the ablated cornea and smooth an inner portion of the ablation with an amount of pressure when deflected.

Methods and apparatus can fit coverings to treat eyes. The covering can be identified so as to provide improved flow of tear liquid under the covering. The covering can be identified based on an inner corneal curvature and an outer corneal curvature and one or more of a limbus sag height or a conjunctival sag height. The covering may form a chamber when placed on the eye to pump tear liquid under at least a portion of the covering. The covering may comprise an outer portion with rigidity to resist movement on the cornea and an inner portion to contact the cornea and provide an environment for epithelial regeneration. The covering may comprise a material having high oxygen permeability, for example silicone, with a wettable coating disposed on at least an upper surface of the coating.
