1. A method of modifying an ophthalmic lens, the method comprising:
inducing subsurface changes in refractive index of a material forming an annular zone of an ophthalmic lens to form subsurface optical elements configured to modify distribution of light to the peripheral retina of a user so as to inhibit progression of myopia, wherein the changes in the refractive index are induced by subjecting the material to pulses of laser light.
