Systems, devices, and methods for correcting presbyopic vision create a dye ring in the cornea. The intrastromal ring is created using a femtosecond laser and is centered on the visual axis. A black or a colored pigment is then injected. The internal diameter of the ring is dimensioned so as to create an intracorneal pinhole and improve the near and intermediate vision of the non-dominant eye while only slightly altering the distance vision of that eye. The pinhole dye ring in the cornea of the presbyopic eyes enhances the depth of field, thereby allowing improved presbyopic performance without the need for corrective lenses.
