About our service

Serving Bhabua from Varanasi

Bhabua — the district headquarters of Kaimur — has been part of Shantanu Netralaya's regular patient community for many years. Families from Bhabua town, Ramgarh, Bhagwanpur and Chainpur travel to Varanasi for premium cataract surgery with monofocal / toric / EDOF / trifocal IOL options, anti-VEGF injections for diabetic retinopathy, and paediatric eye care under Dr. Manisha Mishra. The 90-minute drive on the Grand Trunk Road (NH-19) makes a same-day surgery visit realistic — many Bhabua patients arrive by 9 AM and are back home in time for dinner.

Why patients from Bhabua choose Shantanu Netralaya over local options

Patients from Bhabua typically travel to Shantanu Netralaya, Varanasi (90 km / 90 minutes on NH-19) 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 Bhabua. 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 Bhabua can access premium refractive cataract surgery without traveling to a metro city.

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

Bhabua families typically present with age-related cataract in the 55+ demographic, diabetic retinopathy in long-standing type-2 diabetics, and paediatric refractive-error / squint referrals for children (managed by Dr. Manisha Mishra). Because Bhabua is Kaimur's district headquarters, it also produces a steady flow of second-opinion referrals from local practitioners before complex cataract surgery. The most common presentations from Bhabua 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 Bhabua — practical logistics

The NH-19 drive from Bhabua to Varanasi is a straight 90-minute run via Mohania and Mughalsarai (DDU Nagar). Direct shared cabs run every 30 minutes; from Cantt Varanasi it is a 20-minute auto ride to our Durgakund clinic. For elderly patients who prefer rail, Bhabua Road railway station (Kudra) has multiple daily connections to Varanasi Junction. 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.

Cashless insurance approval (all major TPAs, plus Ayushman Bharat where eligible) is coordinated by our front desk before your surgery date.
