The therapeutic agent is deliverable from the structure into the eye so as to therapeutically effect and/or stabilize a refractive property of the eye. In many embodiments, the refractive property of the eye may comprise at least one of myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism. The therapeutic agent can comprise a composition that therapeutically effects or stabilizes the refractive property of the eye. The therapeutic agent may comprise at least one of a mydriatic or a cycloplegic drug. For example, the therapeutic agent may include a cycloplegic that comprises at least one of atropine, cyclopentolate, succinylcholine, homatropine, scopolamine, or tropicamide. In many embodiments, a retention element can be attached to the structure to retain the structure along a natural tissue surface.
