Prosthetic Contact Lenses
There are times when an eye is damaged beyond repair, but isn't too damaged that the removal of the eyeball is necessary. There are some people with cases like these that are looking for ways to conceal their damaged eyeball. This is where a Prosthetic Contact Lens comes in.

A Prosthetic contact lens is a type of contact lens which is used to mask a damaged eyeball. Unlike the usual soft contact lenses which are used to correct vision or change the color of someone's iris, a Prosthetic Contact Lens has a more opaque design and is used most of the time to cover a damaged Cornea.
