About our service

Serving Rohtas from Varanasi

Rohtas district — Sasaram (HQ), Dehri-on-Sone, Bikramganj, Nokha, Karagahar and the Chenari-Sasaram industrial belt — has been part of Shantanu Netralaya's Bihar catchment for many years. Patients travel to Varanasi for premium cataract surgery, complex-cataract second opinions, medical retina care and second opinions before major eye surgery. Rohtas is a bigger district by area and the drive time varies with your starting town — around 2.5 hours from Sasaram, closer to 2 hours from Dehri-on-Sone. Same-day discharge cataract surgery is workable for Dehri patients; Sasaram families often prefer one overnight stay so the first post-op review can be done in person.

Why patients from Rohtas choose Shantanu Netralaya over local options

Patients from Rohtas typically travel to Shantanu Netralaya, Varanasi (135 km / 2 to 2.5 hours from Sasaram (2 hours from Dehri)) 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 Rohtas. 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 Rohtas can access premium refractive cataract surgery without traveling to a metro city.

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

Rohtas — Sasaram, Dehri-on-Sone, Bikramganj, Nokha and Karagahar — is our second-largest Bihar catchment (after Kaimur). Common presentations are age-related cataract in the 60+ age group, long-standing diabetic retinopathy, complex cataract second opinions (mature, subluxated, post-uveitic) and — increasingly — premium-IOL upgrades for retired professionals who want spectacle independence. The most common presentations from Rohtas 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.

By road, Rohtas to Varanasi is a 2 to 2.5 hour drive on NH-19 — closer to 2 hours from Dehri-on-Sone, 2.5 hours from Sasaram. Direct trains from Sasaram Junction to Varanasi Junction take about 90 minutes and are the preferred choice for older patients. Ola/Uber and shared cabs handle the last-mile from Cantt to Durgakund in under 20 minutes.

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.
