Methods of designing corneal implants, such as inlays, to compensate for acorneal response, such as epithelial remodelingof the epithelial layer, to the presence of the implant. Additionally, methodsof performing alternative corneal visioncorrection procedures to compensate for an epithelial response to theprocedure. Methods of compensating for a corneal responsewhen performing a vision correction procedure to create a center near regionof the cornea for near vision while providing distancevision peripheral to the central near zone.
