About our service

Serving Buxar from Varanasi

Buxar district — Buxar town (HQ), Dumraon, Simri, Chausa, Rajpur and Chakki — is a well-connected Ganga-belt Bihar district that sits an easy 2 hours from Varanasi. Buxar families travel to Shantanu Netralaya for premium cataract surgery with monofocal / toric / EDOF / trifocal IOL options, anti-VEGF injections for wet AMD and diabetic macular oedema, second opinions on complex cataract cases, and paediatric eye care under Dr. Manisha Mishra. Same-day discharge cataract surgery is workable for Buxar town patients; families from Dumraon or Chausa often prefer one overnight stay.

Why patients from Buxar choose Shantanu Netralaya over local options

Patients from Buxar typically travel to Shantanu Netralaya, Varanasi (120 km · 2 hours on NH-319) 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 Buxar. 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 Buxar can access premium refractive cataract surgery without traveling to a metro city.

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

Buxar, Dumraon, Chausa and Simri patients most often present for premium cataract surgery, anti-VEGF injections for wet AMD or diabetic macular oedema, and complex cataract second opinions. The Ganga-belt demographic here — extended families, small-business households — typically prefers a two-day plan for surgery (biometry + surgery + first-day post-op) so the family unit stays together for the entire journey. The most common presentations from Buxar 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 Buxar — practical logistics

Buxar to Varanasi is a 2-hour drive on NH-319 through Dumraon and Chausa. Direct trains from Buxar Junction to Varanasi Junction take about 90 minutes and are the preferred option for older patients — the rail journey is more comfortable and predictable than the road journey during monsoon or fog season. From Cantt Varanasi it is a 20-minute auto ride to our Durgakund clinic. 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.
