Specialty prosthetic lenses for cornea conditions explained
Contact lenses are typically used first and foremost for vision correction. At Weston Contact Lens Institute, we regularly work with patients to prescribe and fit the best lenses to treat eye conditions. Our lenses include a range of different specialty lenses often used for conditions in which traditional contact lenses are not ideal. Beyond just vision treatment, though, we also offer several types of specialty prosthetic lenses that are meant primarily for cosmetic purposes.
The Importance of Prosthetic or Cosmetic Contact Lenses
Sometimes, eye conditions or injuries can do damage to the cornea or the rest of the eye in ways that go beyond vision loss. For instance, eye trauma can result in visible disfigurement to the eye. Disfigurement can also result from eye infections, surgical complications, congenital defects, retinal detachments, or conditions like glaucoma and Sjogren’s syndrome.
