Soft Prosthetic Lenses

Prosthetic Lenses are used as a mask to improve the appearance of a disfigured eye. It has more aesthetic value than used to give vision to the eye. It is also in use to block excess light from reaching the retina. They are made of Gas Permeable or soft lens material.

Customised Prosthetic lenses are made for refractive errors like myopia, hypermetropia, Presbyopia and astigmatism. This lens is designed to match the appearance of the unaffected eye.

Prosthetic lens is also used for Albinism patients who have lack of pigment or colour in the eye.
