Nissel Custom – Prosthetic

after before

“This 48 year old lady had a congenial defect and no vision in her left eye, she rarely looks at herself in the mirror.
We fitted her with a Nissel Custom Prosthetic… and her husband has just emailed to say that he cannot pull her away from the mirror now!” 

A screen printed soft contact lens with additional manual enhancement

A specialised hand painted high water content lens with a range of uses including prosthetic and cosmetic.  Highly reproducible and easy to fit, giving more practitioners the confidence to help any patient requiring a customised lens. Please refer to our Nissel Custom Image Guide for acceptable images.

Fitting sets

No fitting set is available for the Nissel Custom range of lenses. Up to 2 fitting lenses are supplied at no cost.

When happy with the fit and vision (if required) of the lens, the lens can be disposed of and a new lens ordered for Hand Painting. Please send a high resolution digital image (jpeg) of the eye to be matched. This should be taken with a digital camera in good light; a slit lamp camera should not be used. Images of inferior quality will be rejected and will require re-submitting.

Please refer to our Nissel Custom Image sheet for guidance.
