For the inquiring minds now and for people wo might be searching for it later, pictures of my iris print lense (irisprintlens in Dutch).
This lenses exist with a clear backing to solve problems with the iris, and with black backing to block out sight.
(Fellow Dutchies: I got this lense through Oculenti, which has branches in some of the bigger hospitals. The lenses are covered by most health insurances, and you have to pay a small amount yourself.)

Inside:

Result (lens is on my left eye):

I was told that with brown eyes the results of iris print lenses is far better!
My eye is a tough one to match because of the color and the way my pupil stands out.
I chose a grey-green over a blue tint that was closer to my real eye color, because in the total picture the grey-green one looked more calm and natural on me.

It might take some time before I'm truly happy. This lense doesn't black out my sight as well as a patch does. So I have to adapt (again) and get used to eyesight version #ilostcount.
