A method increases the depth of focus of an eye having a line of sight. A pharmacologic agent is applied to the eye to cause a reduction in the size of the pupil of the eye. The pupil is aligned with a visible feature of a mask comprising a pin-hole aperture. The pin-hole aperture is centered on a mask axis. The alignment causes the mask axis to be substantially aligned with the line of sight of the eye. The mask is applied to the eye of the patient while maintaining the alignment of the visible feature of the mask and the pupil. |
