Occlusion
is always the last resort in treating double vision. However, in many cases,
surgery, prisms nor therapy can eliminate the double vision. In those cases,
occluding one lens or a section of one lens may be required.
In the past patients had to use black “pirate” patches, tape or
filter materials to block their vision. These often had a poor appearance,
and the tape or filter rarely lasts for very long.
A new
lens is now helping stop double vision while maintaining a good cosmetic
appearance. Developed in
Asia
, this unique lens allows us to block the vision in one eye while
maintaining a very good cosmetic appearance.
A special surface on the lens blocks incoming vision while allowing
the image of the eye to still be seen by others, thus keeping a more normal
cosmetic appearance.
