About our service

Serving Mohania from Varanasi

Mohania (in Kaimur district) sits directly on NH-19 — the Grand Trunk Road — and is the single closest Bihar town to Varanasi. Mohania families are among our most frequent Bihar visitors because the 70 km drive is genuinely quick: patients typically leave Mohania at 7 AM and are at the Durgakund clinic before 9 AM for their consultation or surgery slot. Same-day discharge cataract surgery is straightforward for Mohania patients, and even monthly anti-VEGF retina injections are logistically painless from here.

Why patients from Mohania choose Shantanu Netralaya over local options

Patients from Mohania typically travel to Shantanu Netralaya, Varanasi (70 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 Mohania. 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 Mohania can access premium refractive cataract surgery without traveling to a metro city.

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

Mohania patients most commonly present for premium cataract surgery, monthly retina injections (anti-VEGF for wet AMD or diabetic macular oedema), and paediatric refractive-error assessment. The short NH-19 route means Mohania is one of the few Bihar towns where a monthly retina injection schedule is genuinely maintainable — a treatment plan that is much harder to sustain from further-out districts. The most common presentations from Mohania 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 Mohania — practical logistics

Mohania sits directly on NH-19 — the drive to Durgakund is a straight 70 km with no detours, typically 90 minutes door-to-door. This is the shortest journey time of any Bihar town to Shantanu Netralaya, and makes Mohania one of the few Bihar towns where monthly anti-VEGF retina injections are logistically painless. Bhabua Road railway station (Kudra) is also within easy reach 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.
