Prosthetic Lenses

What Are Prosthetic Contact Lenses?

Prosthetic contact lenses are specially designed medical lenses that improve the appearance of an eye affected by injury, congenital conditions, or disease. Sometimes referred to as cosmetic or therapeutic lenses, these lenses are custom tinted to closely match the color and pattern of your natural eye, creating a more balanced and natural appearance.

At the Contact Lens Institute of Kansas, Dr. Letourneau works closely with each patient to design a lens that not only fits comfortably, but also restores visual symmetry and supports emotional well-being.

How Prosthetic Lenses Can Help

Restoring a Natural Look

Whether the eye has been discolored due to trauma, surgery, or congenital differences, prosthetic lenses can help recreate a lifelike, symmetrical appearance that blends with your other eye.

Concealing Irregularities

These lenses can effectively mask visible issues such as corneal scarring, iris defects, cloudiness, or pupil irregularities, helping to reduce unwanted attention and improve confidence.

Supporting Self-Confidence and Emotional Healing

For many patients, changes in their eye’s appearance can impact self-esteem. Prosthetic lenses offer more than a cosmetic solution, they play a vital role in emotional recovery by restoring a sense of normalcy and control over one’s appearance.
