Why you can trust this page
The description of OCT 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
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is a light-based scan that builds a cross-section of your retina, much like an ultrasound — but with light instead of sound. It shows swelling, thinning, holes, and fluid under the macula long before you may notice blur. At Neera Eye Centre this scan guides treatment for diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, vein occlusions, and follow-up after injections or laser.
What It Covers
Measures swelling or thinning at the centre of vision.
Tracks fluid and layer damage from diabetic macular oedema.
Helps stage dry and wet AMD and plan injections when needed.
Compares scans over time after anti-VEGF injections or laser.
Who It Is For
Anyone with diabetes who needs regular retina screening.
People with distorted lines, a dark patch, or unexplained vision drop.
Patients already on retina treatment who need progress checks.
Cost
The cost of OCT 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
You rest your chin and forehead; no drops are always required.
The machine captures thousands of light readings in a few seconds.
Your retina specialist explains the map and the next step in care.
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.

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!
