Cosmetic Soft Prosthetic Lenses

At NY Optometry Contact Lens Services, PLLC, we specialize in advanced cosmetic soft prosthetic contact lenses that restore both vision and appearance for patients with ocular conditions. Whether addressing corneal irregularities, traumatic eye injuries, or congenital abnormalities, we help patients regain confidence and improve their quality of life through personalized ocular rehabilitation.

What are Cosmetic Soft Prosthetic Contact Lenses?

Cosmetic soft prosthetic contact lenses are specialized medical devices designed to restore the natural appearance of damaged or disfigured eyes. Fabricated from the same comfortable, breathable materials as standard soft contacts, they incorporate opaque designs and are meticulously painted or printed with intricate iris patterns to match the healthy eye, mask disfiguring underlying eye conditions, and create a more appealing appearance.

When Are They Recommended?

These lenses are frequently prescribed for patients with various eye conditions or injuries that impact appearance and affect self-confidence.

Situations may include:

  • Congenital conditions like aniridia (missing iris), albinism, or heterochromia (different colored eyes).
  • Addressing eye trauma, chemical burns, or surgical complications that have altered the eye's natural appearance.
  • These lenses can also benefit individuals with corneal scars, cataracts, or other conditions that can give the eye an unsightly white or cloudy appearance.

The Cosmetic and Functional Benefits

Since these lenses create a more natural, symmetrical appearance, many individuals will experience an improvement in their social interactions and professional relationships. Plus, prosthetic lenses offer other functional advantages. They can also help reduce light sensitivity by acting as a natural sunglasses filter for damaged eyes that can't properly control light entry. 

Comprehensive, Attentive Care, & Expert Care

Successful prosthetic lens fitting demands extensive training and experience in both medical optometry and cosmetic restoration. Having decades of experience in the field, Dr. Kaplan uses the most advanced high-resolution cameras and computer modeling to capture precise iris patterns, colors, and textures, and obtain the exact measurements and eye curvature to achieve the most accurate, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing, results. Every cosmetic soft prosthetic contact designed and fabricated by NY Optometry Contact Lens Services, PLLC, is individually crafted using specialized printing techniques that layer multiple colors to achieve the most realistic depth and detail.
