About our service

Serving Sasaram from Varanasi

Sasaram — the district headquarters of Rohtas, home to Sher Shah Suri's tomb and a major railway junction on the Delhi-Kolkata main line — has been a consistent source of Bihar referrals to Shantanu Netralaya. The direct train from Sasaram Junction to Varanasi Junction takes about 90 minutes and is often the preferred option for older patients; the NH-19 road drive is around 2.5 hours. Sasaram families most commonly present for premium cataract surgery in the 55+ age group, diabetic retinopathy screening, and second opinions on complex cases.

Why patients from Sasaram choose Shantanu Netralaya over local options

Patients from Sasaram typically travel to Shantanu Netralaya, Varanasi (135 km · 90 minutes by direct train / 2.5 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 Sasaram. 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 Sasaram can access premium refractive cataract surgery without traveling to a metro city.

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

Sasaram patients most often present for premium cataract surgery with toric or trifocal IOLs (spectacle independence is a common goal for the retired-professional demographic), long-standing diabetic retinopathy screening, and complex cataract second opinions. Because Sasaram is a well-connected district HQ, we also see a steady flow of physician-referred cases before major eye surgery. The most common presentations from Sasaram 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 Sasaram — practical logistics

The direct train from Sasaram Junction to Varanasi Junction takes about 90 minutes and is on the Delhi-Kolkata trunk line with multiple daily pairs. The NH-19 road drive is 2.5 hours. From Varanasi Junction (Cantt) it is a 20-minute auto or Ola ride to our Durgakund clinic. Many Sasaram families combine the surgery trip with a half-day of shopping or visiting relatives in Varanasi rather than treating it as strictly medical. 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.
