Good place for eye checkup. Returning customer since 30 year. They never recommended spec unnecessarily, mostly medication helped me recover eye related issues. Keep up the good work.

Had a great experience at Shantanu Netralaya. The doctors here are really patient and knowledgeable. They made me feel comfortable throughout the check-up and explained my problem in simple terms. The clinic is clean, well-managed, and easy to locate. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for reliable eye care in Varanasi.

I visited Shantanu Netralaya for an eye check-up. Dr. Shantanu checked my eyes very carefully and explained everything to me in a very clear and friendly way. He is a very good doctor who truly cares about his patients and provides the right treatment. I feel comfortable and satisfied with his care, so I always prefer to visit him. Highly recommended.😊👍
