Claim:
A covering to treat an eye of a patient, the eye having a tear liquid, a pupil, a cornea, and a conjunctiva, the covering comprising: an optical component to correct vision of the eye, the optical component comprising a first rigidity sufficient to resist deformation when placed on the eye and a posterior surface extending along the inner optic portion and configured so that engagement of the posterior surface against the eye deforms the posterior surface of the lens and so that the posterior surface extending along the inner optic portion has a shape diverging from the refractive shape of the cornea and defines at least one lenticular volume; a coupling component to contact the cornea and the conjunctiva and to support the optical component in relation to the pupil, the coupling component comprising an outer portion sized to contact the conjunctiva, an inner portion to couple to the optical component, and an intermediate portion extending between the inner portion and the outer portion, one or more of the optical component or the coupling component comprising a plurality of fenestrations coupled to the at least one lenticular volume to pump the tear liquid when the eye blinks.
