Prosthetic Contact Lenses: Adventure or Miracle

Abstract

Besides providing superior cosmesis to evisceration or enucleation, prosthetic contact lenses significantly improve the social relationships and well-being of patients. Fitting a prosthesis over a disfigured or an absolute (blind) eye could be a successful remedy for maintaining the integrity of the orbital anatomy, enhancing the cosmetic appearance, and accelerating the rehabilitation of patients with disfigured blind eyes.
