Prosthetic Contact Lenses

- Offering Many Different Options for Cosmetic Improvement of Your Eyes

Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to restore the natural look of a damaged, injured, or disfigured eye? Prosthetic contact lenses, also known as cosmetic or tinted contact lenses, are designed to enhance appearance and can have life-changing effects for many patients. These lenses can even be custom painted to match your exact eye color and specifications, helping restore confidence and overall quality of life.

At the Raleigh Contact Lens Institute, we recognize that vision care is about both function and aesthetics. Our doctors are highly experienced in fitting prosthetic contact lenses—specialty lenses that go beyond vision correction to restore the natural appearance of the eye.

We provide prosthetic contact lenses for a variety of purposes, from covering scars to improving cosmetic appearance in cases of eye injury or disease. Using advanced technology that collects over 240,000 data points on the eye’s surface, we design lenses that fit with unmatched precision. What truly sets us apart is our comprehensive exams, where patients spend 100% of their time one-on-one with a compassionate doctor focused on achieving the best possible outcome.

The Top Doctor for Prosthetic Contact Lenses in Raleigh

Prosthetic contact lenses, sometimes called cosmetic contact lenses or colored contact lenses, are specialty lenses designed to improve the appearance of an eye affected by injury, trauma, or congenital conditions. These lenses are custom-crafted to closely match the natural color and pattern of the eye, creating a seamless and natural look.
  • Restoring Aesthetics – Prosthetic lenses help recreate the natural look of an eye impacted by disease, injury, or birth conditions, giving patients a greater sense of normalcy and confidence.
  • Camouflaging Irregularities – They effectively cover scarring, discoloration, or irregularities that may affect the cosmetic appearance of the eye.
  • Enhancing Self-Image – By restoring a natural appearance, prosthetic contact lenses can significantly boost self-esteem and confidence.
  • Supporting Emotional Healing – For individuals who have experienced eye trauma or disfigurement, prosthetic lenses provide not only cosmetic restoration but also emotional reassurance by minimizing visible damage.
