1. A system for providing data for vision correction utilizing a volumetric ablation and an intrastromal manipulation, comprising:

  • first computer software receiving diagnostic data representing a refractive error of a cornea of an eye;

    second computer software calculating at least one volumetric ablation profile based on said diagnostic data;

    third computer software calculating at least one intrastromal manipulation based on said diagnostic data;

    fourth computer software selecting at least one volumetric ablation profile and at least one intrastromal manipulation to optimize a combined treatment of a volumetric ablation and an intrastromal manipulation to correct said refractive error;

    wherein the intrastromal manipulation causes a bio-dynamic shape change of at least a portion of the cornea.
