Abstract
Corneal augmentations designed for the amelioration of an abnormality of a cornea and methods of using them are disclosed. The corneal augmentations are shaped from corneal templates. The required arcuate 3-D shapes of the corneal augmentations are determined based on elevation maps of the cornea as well as measurements of a severity of the abnormality such as the maximum keratoconus, K-max. Shaping of the corneal augmentation is done using computer-controlled femtosecond lasers and laser ablation.
