Prescription glasses and contact lenses in India: prices and rules

Updated 4 November 2026

Monthly contact lenses in India are listed at about ₹399 to ₹1,099 a pack, and daily or toric lenses at about ₹2,699 to ₹5,500, according to sellers' websites for November 2026. We found no spectacle prices for this month, so ask for a quote that includes the lenses and the frame. To see current prices for your power and lens type, describe them in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Prescription and registration

Contact lenses need a prescription from an eye care practitioner, who can also provide trial lenses, so buy only from a seller who asks for your prescription. Shops that sell spectacles, contact lenses or optical accessories must obtain MD-42 registration before they can operate legally. Spectacle lenses should carry the ISI mark under IS 18584, so look for it on the lens or the packaging.

Warranty and brands

Brand warranties differ. One frame brand's India warranty covers breakage from defects in material and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase. Ask the seller whether that warranty applies to your model, and keep the bill, because the period runs from the date of purchase.

Season and climate

Hot weather all year means there is no winter peak in buying, so order when your prescription changes or your supply runs low. In hot, humid months many wearers prefer daily lenses for comfort and hygiene, while monthly and two-week lenses need replacing on schedule anyway.

Units, delivery and what to write

Lens power is written in dioptres with a sign and steps such as -2.25 or -5.25, so copy the numbers from your prescription exactly. Lenses are often sold in boxes of two or in 6-pack packs, so check how many lenses a price covers. In your request, say whether you need glasses, contact lenses or both, the lens type, the brand and frame you like, the quantity, any add-ons, your delivery city among Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai, and your budget in rupees.
