About our service

Serving Kaimur from Varanasi

Kaimur district — Bhabua (HQ), Mohania, Chainpur, Ramgarh, Adhaura and Chand — is the closest Bihar district to Varanasi. A steady share of our patient community comes from Kaimur every week for premium cataract surgery, medical retina care and second opinions. Most Kaimur families choose Shantanu Netralaya because it is the nearest MAMC / Guru Nanak Eye Centre (New Delhi) trained ophthalmology practice — the drive on NH-19 (Grand Trunk Road) takes about 90 minutes, which makes same-day discharge cataract surgery genuinely practical: arrive by 9 AM, surgery by mid-morning, back in Bhabua by evening.

Why patients from Kaimur choose Shantanu Netralaya over local options

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

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

Kaimur — Bhabua, Mohania, Chainpur, Ramgarh, Adhaura and Chand — is our largest Bihar catchment. Common presentations from the district are: mature senile cataract in the 55+ age group (often long-standing because premium IOL access within the district has been limited); diabetic retinopathy in long-standing type-2 diabetics; and second-opinion consultations before major eye surgery. The most common presentations from Kaimur 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 Kaimur — practical logistics

The NH-19 (Grand Trunk Road) is the fastest and most reliable route — a straight 90-minute drive from Bhabua via Mohania and Mughalsarai (DDU Nagar). Shared cabs run every 30 minutes on this stretch and Ola/Uber is available for the last mile from Cantt to Durgakund. Sasaram-Varanasi trains stop at Bhabua Road railway station (Kudra) for families who prefer rail. 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.
