Patent ID: 7458380

Claim:
A method for treating an eye in need of one or more of a physiological and a vision correction, comprising: applying a force to a portion of a conjunctiva of the eye in a clockwise direction, the portion receiving the force changing relative to the sclera from a first configuration to a second configuration; projecting a pattern of electromagnetic energy onto the conjunctiva in the form of a spot or a radial line; directing electromagnetic energy toward the pattern and into the sclera; applying a force to the portion of the conjunctiva in a counter-clockwise direction, the portion receiving the force changing relative to the sclera from the second configuration to another configuration; further applying a force to the portion of the conjunctiva, the portion receiving the force changing relative to the sclera from the other configuration to a third configuration; projecting a pattern of electromagnetic energy onto the conjunctiva in the form of a spot or a radial line; and directing electromagnetic energy toward the pattern and into the sclera.
