Zusammenfassung:	The methods and apparatus disclosed herein can be used to adjust the effective lens position ("ELP") of the eye in order to correct refractive error of the eye. The methods and apparatus can be configured to apply energy to the sclera and other regions of the eye in order to adjust the effective lens position of the eye for far vision. The sclera can be treated in order to shrink or relax the sclera, and combinations thereof in order to adjust the position of the lens of the eye in order to correct vision related to refractive error of the eye. A target location of the lens can be determined to correct the refractive error of the eye, and the energy applied in order to move the lens toward the target location.
