Abstract
Embodiments of this invention generally relate to systems and methods for optical treatment and more particularly to non-invasive refractive treatment method based on sub wavelength particle implantation. In an embodiment, a method for optical treatment identifies an optical aberration of an eye, determines a dopant delivery device configuration in response to the optical aberration of the eye, wherein the determined dopant delivery device is configured to impose a desired correction to the eye to mitigate the identified optical aberration of the eye by applying a doping pattern to the eye so as to locally change a refractive index of the eye.

A system for optical treatment of an eye, the system comprising:
- a delivery device;
- and
- dopant operably coupled with the delivery device so as to be deliverable from the delivery device to the eye in a dopant pattern;
- wherein the delivery device is configurable to deliver the dopant to the eye so that the dopant pattern locally changes a refractive index of the so as to impose a desired correction to the eye to mitigate an optical aberration of the eye.
