About our service

Serving Mau from Varanasi

Patients from Mau, Ghosi, Muhammadabad Gohna and Doharighat regularly travel to Shantanu Netralaya, Varanasi for premium cataract surgery, diabetic retinopathy care and second opinions. The 110 km drive via NH-31 / NH-19 typically takes two-and-a-half hours; many patients complete their same-day discharge cataract surgery and are back home by evening.

Why patients from Mau choose Shantanu Netralaya over local options

Patients from Mau typically travel to Shantanu Netralaya, Varanasi (110 km / 2.5-3 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 Mau. 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 Mau can access premium refractive cataract surgery without traveling to a metro city.

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

Mau, Ghosi and Muhammadabad patients typically travel to us for premium cataract surgery, complex-cataract second opinions, and diabetic retinopathy management. The distance encourages patients to consolidate everything into one trip — biometry, surgery and first-day post-op — which we accommodate. The most common presentations from Mau 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 Mau — practical logistics

Mau is roughly 110 km by road on NH-233 and NH-31 — a 2.5 to 3 hour drive, depending on the town-centre you are travelling from. Direct trains from Mau Junction to Varanasi Junction take 2 hours and are often the preferred option for older patients. Many families choose to stay overnight in Varanasi for the pre-op and immediate post-op period, then return to Mau the following day after the first-day check. 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.
