About our service

Serving Cantt from Varanasi

Varanasi Cantonment (Cantt) is home to serving and retired defence-services families, senior corporate professionals, and the Varanasi Junction / Cantt Railway Station catchment. For Cantt residents, Shantanu Netralaya Eye Hospital in Durgakund is a 15-minute drive via Cantt-Sigra-Durgakund with free onsite parking — significantly closer than any large-chain hospital and staffed by MAMC / Guru Nanak Eye Centre (New Delhi) trained specialists.

Full-spectrum eye care within a short drive of Cantt

For residents of Cantt, Shantanu Netralaya offers what most standalone eye clinics do not: a single-roof service model that combines premium cataract surgery, medical retina, dry-eye management and pediatric eye care. Dr. Shantanu Kumar Gupta (MS, MAMC New Delhi; FICO Merit) handles adult cataract and medical retina — including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and retinal vein occlusion. Dr. Manisha Mishra (MBBS Gold Medalist; MS, MAMC) handles pediatric ophthalmology, squint surgery and complex-cataract cases. The clinic is a 15-minute drive via Cantt-Sigra-Durgakund — most Cantt residents reach us in under 15 min by personal car or taxi.

What's unique about eye-care demand from Cantt?

Varanasi Cantt is a distinctive residential belt — serving and retired defence-services families, senior corporate professionals and the Cantt Railway Station catchment. The demographic here skews toward well-informed premium-IOL cataract candidates, mid-40s dry eye and computer vision syndrome cases, and CGHS / ECHS cashless approvals for retirees. Because of this, our appointment slots for Cantt residents lean towards evening consultations (after 5 PM) and Saturday-morning surgery days. We also keep dedicated screening slots for adults over 40 who have never had a comprehensive eye examination — a one-hour visit that includes refraction, IOP measurement, slit-lamp evaluation, dilated fundus exam and, where indicated, OCT retina imaging.

Booking, insurance and same-day discharge for Cantt patients

Booking is easiest on WhatsApp (+91 83186 65154) — send a short note describing your symptoms and we will confirm a slot within business hours. Cashless approvals are arranged with all major insurers before your surgery date, and Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) is accepted for eligible patients. Cataract surgery here is same-day discharge: arrive at 8 AM, have MICS phacoemulsification under topical anaesthesia by 10 AM, spend two hours in observation, and go home by lunchtime. A follow-up review the next morning and again at one week is standard.
