Claim:
1. A method of modifying a refractive profile of an eye, the eye having an intraocular device implanted therein located at an initial position within the eye and the eye having an initial refractive profile, the method comprising the steps of: determining a corrected refractive profile for the eye based on the initial refractive profile; identifying one or more locations within the intraocular device based on the corrected refractive profile; and directing a femtosecond pulsed laser beam at the one or more locations to form one or more slip zones within a hinge of a haptic portion of the intraocular device to increase flexibility of the haptic portion, wherein the one or more slip zones are configured to reorient the intraocular device to a corrected position within the eye and produce the corrected refractive profile, the femtosecond pulsed laser having a pulse width between about 300 picoseconds and about 10 femtoseconds.
