Why patients from Azamgarh choose Shantanu Netralaya over local options

Patients from Azamgarh typically travel to Shantanu Netralaya, Varanasi (90 km / 2 hours by road) for three reasons. First, our lead consultant Dr. Shantanu Kumar Gupta is trained at Maulana Azad Medical College and Guru Nanak Eye Centre, New Delhi — an accreditation you will rarely find at general clinics in Azamgarh. Second, we operate a same-day discharge model for cataract surgery: patients arrive in the morning, undergo phacoemulsification under topical anaesthesia, and return home the same evening. Third, our IOL catalogue includes monofocal, toric, EDOF and trifocal lenses — so patients from Azamgarh can access premium refractive cataract surgery without traveling to a metro city.

Which eye conditions do we most often treat for Azamgarh patients?

Azamgarh, Mubarakpur and Lalganj patients most often present for cataract surgery, diabetic retinopathy screening, and pediatric refractive-error and amblyopia workup (under Dr. Manisha Mishra). NICU-graduate infants from local nursing homes are sometimes referred for ROP (retinopathy of prematurity) screening — a service that requires specific expertise not widely available in the region. The most common presentations from Azamgarh are: (1) age-related cataract in the 55+ demographic, often long-standing due to delayed access to premium surgery; (2) diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes — for which we offer OCT-guided screening, anti-VEGF intravitreal injections and pan-retinal laser (PRP); (3) dry eye disease and computer vision syndrome; (4) pediatric refractive error and amblyopia therapy (handled by Dr. Manisha Mishra); and (5) post-cataract yttrium-aluminium-garnet (YAG) capsulotomy for capsular opacification.

Getting to our Varanasi clinic from Azamgarh — practical logistics

Azamgarh to Varanasi is a 90 km / 2-hour drive on NH-233. Direct trains from Azamgarh Junction to Varanasi Junction take about 1.5 to 2 hours and are a popular choice for older patients travelling with family. For cataract surgery, a single-day visit is entirely feasible if the pre-op biometry was done at a previous consultation. Our address is 40, Deen Dayal Colony, Kabir Nagar Road, Near Durgakund, Varanasi, 221005 — with a Plus Code of 7XRW+32 Varanasi. Free onsite parking is available. If you are coming for surgery, please have one family member accompany you; the eye is usually padded for a few hours post-op, so we do not recommend driving back yourself the same day. Consultations can be booked directly on WhatsApp (+91 83186 65154) — most weeks we can accommodate a same-day or next-day slot. Cashless insurance approval (all major TPAs, plus Ayushman Bharat where eligible) is coordinated by our front desk before your surgery date.
