contact lense for one eye blinded person

contact lense for one eye blinded person

Hi, this is for my friend.  He lost sight of one eye when he was a child, he is now in late 20s.  I was hoping if anyone know about custom contact lense for him.  His eye has no pigment(little bit of gray left) and his the other eye has perfectly normal(dark brown) and functions very well.  I was wondering if there is contact lense out there to match with his other eye or place that he can have custom lense made.  I'm sure you need to know more in detail about his condition, but if you know it's possible or know someone who can help him, please help him to gain his confidence.

A maker of artifical eye (ocularist) can often fit a cosmetic shell over the bad eye and match it to the other. Sometime insurance will pay for it.

One of the finest in the country is Iowa Eye Prostetics. Use this link to get in touch. If he lives too far away to drive there ask them for the maker of eye prostetics near him.
