Post-Iridectomy Optical Reconstruction
A custom cosmetic visual solution designed to restore comfort and quality of vision
Contact Lenses
Iridectomy
Iridectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the partial removal of the iris, generally performed due to conditions such as glaucoma, ocular trauma, or certain types of iris tumors.
While it is a useful technique for addressing intraocular issues, it can lead to significant visual changes, including photophobia, glare, double vision, or impaired visual acuity.
To address visual issues and restore the aesthetic appearance of the eye, specialized prosthetic contact lenses can be used. They are designed to mimic the color and appearance of the iris while optimizing visual function.

Prosthetic Lenses for Iris Reconstruction
.
How do they work?
These custom-made contact lenses feature an opaque coloration that simulates the natural iris and can include:
- A central black pupil, either transparent or filtering, to regulate incoming light
- A photo-selective design to reduce glare and enhance visual comfort
- A high degree of color customization to perfectly match the fellow eye
Post-iridectomy reconstruction lenses are recommended in cases of:
- Partial or total iridectomy
- Traumatic or congenital iris defects
- Severe post-operative photophobia
- Visual discomfort caused by pupillary irregularities
