Prosthetic contact lenses for disfigured eye

As their name suggests, prosthetic contact lenses are created to decorate disfigured eyes. They either mask eye flaws by trauma and eye diseases or block excess light for abnormally functioning eyes. Prosthetic contacts can provide a healthy eye appearance using custom-painted colors. They have no special difference in materials and care methods with regular contact lenses.

Prosthetic contact lenses are designed to provide a natural match between the two eyes, since an eye disfigurement may be caused by injuries, conditions or infections, which brings a conspicuous eye. Many eye conditions can be cured by prosthetic contacts, such as aniridia, albinism, double vision and trauma-caused cornea disfigurement. Prosthetic contact lenses can also cover the eye movement for people with nystagmus and reduce the amount of light for people with light sensitivity. Colored contact lenses may be used to correct amblyopia on children since they may remove patches on the stronger eye for vision blocking.

Prosthetic contact lenses may be directly prescribed by your eye doctor. But in most cases, they are customized by manufactures with the close-up photographs of your eyes, in order to get the proper eye color and appearance matching. Manufacturers may also provide samples for doctor’s selection.
