Why you can trust this page

Where this information comes from

The description of Specialty Contact Lenses on this page reflects how the service is offered at Neera Eye Centre, Darya Ganj, by the team led by Dr. Neera Agrawal.

Where a recovery time or a fee is not given as a fixed number, that is deliberate. Both depend on your examination, and both are explained before you decide.

This page is written for patients considering the service. It is general information, not a personalised treatment plan.

Service Overview

Specialty Contact Lenses

What is Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty contact lenses sit on (or vault over) the cornea to create a new smooth front surface. Glasses cannot do that when the cornea is cone-shaped, scarred or post-surgical.

If letters smear even with a new spectacle prescription, a medical lens is often the next honest step — not another frame shop visit.

Fitting takes measurements, trial lenses and follow-up. It is clinic work, not a same-day fashion sale.

Lenses will not stop keratoconus from progressing. C3R may still be needed. We will not fit a lens on an active ulcer or a grossly infected eye.

What It Covers

What Specialty Contact Lenses includes

Medical refraction

A refraction built for irregular corneas, not a standard walk-in test.

Scleral fitting

A large lens that rests on the white of the eye and vaults the cornea.

RGP or hybrid

Smaller rigid or hybrid designs when they give a stable, comfortable fit.

Handling training

On and off, filling, and what never to do with tap water.

Review visits

The cornea under the lens is checked — fit is not “set and forget”.

Who It Is For

Who Specialty Contact Lenses is for

Keratoconus

When glasses no longer give a usable image.

Scarred or post-graft eyes

Irregular surfaces after infection, injury or transplant.

Not for active infection

Pain, redness and discharge are treated first.

Cost

Cost of Specialty Contact Lenses

How much does Specialty Contact Lenses cost?

The cost of Specialty Contact Lenses at Neera Eye Centre depends on your examination and the plan your eyes actually need. We confirm a written estimate at consultation, before anything is booked.

There is no single figure that fits every eye. The technique, whether one or both eyes are treated, and any other condition found on examination can change the plan.

What changes the price

Your scans, the treatment that suits your eye, and whether extra care is needed for a second condition. The written estimate lists what is included before a date is fixed.

Before and after

Before your visit, and afterwards

What should I expect with Specialty Contact Lenses?

What the first days look like depends on whether this is a scan, medical treatment, or a procedure. At Neera Eye Centre we explain drops, precautions, and the review date before anything is scheduled.

Before you come in

Bring earlier reports, your current glasses, and a list of eye drops or medicines. Tell us about diabetes, allergies, blood thinners, and any recent redness or injury.

After you are seen

Follow the plan you are given — observation, drops, or a procedure date. Avoid rubbing the eye. Call us the same day if pain, redness, or blurred vision gets worse instead of settling.

Timing

When should you consider Specialty Contact Lenses?

Come in when symptoms affect reading, driving, work, or comfort, or when another doctor has asked you to get this checked. You do not need to wait until a problem is severe.

A consultation is how we tell you whether this service is the right next step, or whether observation or a different treatment suits your eyes better.

Why Choose Us

Why patients choose Neera Eye Centre

Neera Eye Centre, Darya Ganj, is a cornea clinic first. Specialty lenses are fitted because the surface needs them — not as an add-on sale. If C3R, Intacs or a transplant is the safer next step, that is the conversation, not a more expensive lens.

I recently underwent Topography-guided PRK (Contoura) surgery here, and my experience was absolutely fantastic. I had a high cylindrical power (-3.25) and was honestly a bit nervous, but Dr. Neera agrawal and the entire staff made me feel completely at ease. They took the time to explain exactly why PRK was the safest and best option for me. The procedure was incredibly smooth, and my recovery is going exactly as they guided. The hospital is exceptionally clean, the staff is very cooperative, and the technology is top-notch. If you are considering getting rid of your glasses, I highly recommend dr. Neera and this hospital. Thank you for giving me a glass-free life!
