Prosthetic contact lenses are typically used for patients who have a severe injury or condition which sometimes renders the eye sightless and has a poor aesthetic appearance. Examples of such conditions are: a disfigured or deformed iris or pupil, corneal scarring following an injury or disease, aniridia or even iris eterochromia, photofobia, dydchromatopsia, albinism.
