About our service

Serving Sonbhadra from Varanasi

Sonbhadra district — Robertsganj, Obra, Renukoot and the industrial mining belt — traditionally has limited access to modern eye surgery within the district. For Sonbhadra patients, Shantanu Netralaya in Varanasi (3 hours by road via NH-135A or 4 hours by train via Mirzapur) offers MICS phaco with premium IOL options, OCT-guided diabetic retinopathy management and squint surgery by MAMC (New Delhi) trained specialists. Same-day discharge is workable for Robertsganj patients; overnight stay is recommended for Renukoot/Obra families.

Why patients from Sonbhadra choose Shantanu Netralaya over local options

Patients from Sonbhadra typically travel to Shantanu Netralaya, Varanasi (160 km / 3 hours by road from Robertsganj) 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 Sonbhadra. 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 Sonbhadra can access premium refractive cataract surgery without traveling to a metro city.

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

Sonbhadra is part of the Dainik Jagran Purvanchal print distribution belt. Common presentations from the Robertsganj / Obra / Renukoot belt include mature senile cataract with delayed access to premium care, long-standing type 2 diabetes with previously unscreened retinopathy, and childhood squint / amblyopia referrals. The most common presentations from Sonbhadra 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 Sonbhadra — practical logistics

The recommended route is NH-135A via Mirzapur — a 3-hour drive from Robertsganj. Trains via Mirzapur Junction are convenient for elderly patients. For Renukoot and Obra we strongly recommend one overnight stay in Varanasi so the first post-op review can be done in person. 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.
