Why you can trust this page
The description of Dry Eye Clinic in Delhi 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
Dry eye rarely feels dry. That is why it goes undiagnosed for years.
What it actually feels like is burning. Grittiness, as though there is sand in the eye. Heaviness and redness that get worse through the day. Blurring that clears for a second when you blink hard. And very often — watering. Many people are surprised to be told their constantly watering eyes are a dry eye problem. The watering is a reflex: the eye surface is irritated, so it floods with tears that drain away immediately without ever coating the eye properly.
Delhi makes all of this worse. Air pollution, dust, air-conditioned offices and long screen hours all break down the tear film. When you stare at a screen, your blink rate drops by more than half — and you never notice it happening.
Here is the part that matters most: dry eye is not one condition. Some people don't produce enough tears. But far more people produce plenty of tears and lose them too quickly, because the tiny oil glands in the eyelids (the meibomian glands) are blocked. These two problems need completely different treatment. It is the reason ordinary lubricating drops help some people and do nothing for others.
What It Covers
Tear film assessment, tear break-up time, Schirmer testing and eyelid gland examination — so treatment matches your actual type of dry eye.
Examination of the eyelid oil glands to check whether they are blocked, which is the most common and most missed cause of dry eye.
Intense Pulsed Light treatment applied around the eyelids to clear blocked oil glands and restore the oily layer of the tear film.
A structured daily routine that does most of the long-term work, taught properly rather than mentioned in passing.
Preservative-free lubricants, anti-inflammatory drops or punctal plugs, prescribed based on your test findings.
Who It Is For
Anyone working 6+ hours a day on a computer, with eyes that burn or feel heavy by evening.
Lenses that used to be comfortable all day but now become unbearable after a few hours.
Eyes that water in wind, air conditioning or while reading — often a sign of evaporative dry eye rather than excess tears.
Cost
The cost of Dry Eye Clinic in Delhi 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.
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.
How It Works
We start with how your eyes actually feel through the day, and when they are at their worst. That pattern points to the cause.
Painless tests measure how much tear you produce and how quickly it evaporates. The eyelid glands are examined under magnification.
Treatment is matched to your type of dry eye — gland-clearing treatment such as IPL for evaporative dry eye, or tear-preserving measures for reduced production.
Before and after
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.
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.
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
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
Most dry eye is treated with a bottle of lubricating drops and no diagnosis at all. If your dry eye is caused by blocked eyelid glands — which most is — drops will make you comfortable for twenty minutes and change nothing underneath. At Neera Eye Centre, dry eye is tested before it is treated. We identify which type you have and treat that specific cause, including IPL therapy for blocked meibomian glands. We are also candid about the goal. For most patients dry eye is managed rather than cured — but managed properly, it stops interfering with your work, your reading and your comfort.

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!
