Clinical Overview & Treatment Method
The Specialty Contact Lens & Cornea Clinic at Ashvini Netralaya is Tripura’s dedicated center for complex medical contact lens fittings and custom refractive solutions. While standard soft lenses suffice for simple spherical spectacle errors, complex ocular surface disorders—such as Keratoconus, irregular corneal astigmatism, post-corneal trauma scars, post-refractive surgery ectasia, and severe dry eye disease—demand custom-engineered specialty contact lenses.
Our certified contact lens specialists utilize corneal topography and auto-keratometry to customize high-precision lenses, including Rose K2 lenses for keratoconus, Large-Diameter Mini-Scleral lenses (which vault entirely over irregular corneas and bathe the ocular surface in a continuous fluid reservoir), Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses, and custom soft toric/multifocal lenses. We provide complete patient training on safe lens insertion, removal, disinfection, and hygiene to ensure crystal-clear vision with total corneal safety.

Recovery Timeline & Visual Milestones
Initial Adaptation Phase
Mild lens awareness and slight tearing are normal as your eyelids get accustomed to the lens edge. Start with 4 hours of wear daily.
- Wear lenses for 4 hours on Day 1
- Increase by 2 hours each subsequent day
- Practice insertion and removal calmly
Full Daytime Wear
Full adaptation achieved. You comfortably wear your specialty lenses for 10-12 hours daily with crystal-clear vision.
- Full workday wear
- Use re-wetting drops if in air conditioning
- Follow daily enzymatic cleaning routine
Corneal Health & Fit Verification
Slit-lamp examination confirms clear, healthy cornea without staining, optimal lens fit, and 6/6 visual acuity.
- Attend routine 1-month follow-up checkup
Pre-Procedure Preparation
- •If you currently wear soft contact lenses, discontinue wearing them for 3 days prior to your fitting.
- •If you wear RGP lenses, discontinue wearing them for 2 weeks prior to allow your cornea to assume its natural shape.
- •Bring your current eyeglasses and all previous corneal topography maps or keratoconus reports.
- •Trim your fingernails smoothly to make lens insertion and removal easy and safe.
- •Plan for 45 to 60 minutes for your trial fitting and training session.
Post-Procedure Guidelines
- •Always wash your hands thoroughly with oil-free soap and dry them with a lint-free towel before touching lenses.
- •NEVER use tap water, bottled water, or saliva to rinse or store contact lenses; use only prescribed contact lens solutions.
- •Never sleep with your contact lenses on unless specifically prescribed by your specialist.
- •Remove your lenses immediately if your eye becomes red, painful, or sensitive to light, and contact the clinic.
- •Replace your contact lens storage case every 3 months to prevent bacterial biofilm buildup.

“I was diagnosed with Keratoconus at age 22 and told in another state that I might need a corneal transplant because glasses couldn't give me more than 6/36 vision. The contact lens clinic at Ashvini Netralaya fitted me with Rose K2 lenses. The moment they put the lens on, I saw 6/6 clearly for the first time in years. They changed my life.”
