1. A method for correcting an error in a subject's vision, comprising:
implanting an intrastromal decellularized corneal lenticule within corneal stromal region of the subject's cornea such that a posterior surface of the implanted lenticule is positioned on an intrastromal bed of the subject's cornea, wherein the corneal lenticule includes a lenticular body derived from donor corneal tissue having an anterior surface that includes a Bowman's membrane from the donor corneal tissue and a posterior surface that is shaped to provide the lenticule with a desired shape for correcting an error in vision upon intrastromal implantation.
