Abstract
Methods of manufacturing and implanting corneal inlays, such as small diameter corneal inlays, are provided. The methods include manufacturing an implant body to have a meniscus shape with a small diameter and an index of refraction, and implanting the implant body in a corneal bed of a cornea. The inlays cause a change in an anterior surface of the cornea after implantation due to the implant body.
