Serving Varanasi from Varanasi

Shantanu Netralaya Eye Hospital is centrally located in Deen Dayal Colony, Kabir Nagar Road, just off Durgakund — walkable from BHU, Assi Ghat and Sigra. Dr. Shantanu Kumar Gupta brings MAMC New Delhi-trained expertise in premium cataract surgery, medical retina and cornea care to patients across Varanasi.

The heart of Kashi's eye-care map — Durgakund, Varanasi

Shantanu Netralaya is a boutique tertiary-referral eye clinic at 40, Deen Dayal Colony, Kabir Nagar Road, adjacent to Durgakund. Within a 15-minute radius sit BHU (Banaras Hindu University), IIT-BHU, Sir Sunderlal Hospital, Assi Ghat, Lanka, Bhelupur and Sigra — placing us at the geographical centre of Varanasi's most densely-populated south-central belt. This positioning matters clinically: for a same-day-discharge cataract patient, being 10 minutes from home makes the post-operative first-day check-up genuinely convenient rather than a chore. For a diabetic retinopathy patient on monthly anti-VEGF injections, it can decide whether treatment is completed or abandoned.

The full range of surgeries and treatments performed in-house

The most commonly performed procedures in-house are: micro-incision cataract surgery (MICS) via 2.2 mm phacoemulsification with monofocal / toric / EDOF / trifocal IOL options; intravitreal anti-VEGF injections for wet age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular oedema and retinal vein occlusion; pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy; squint (strabismus) surgery for adults and children; and YAG capsulotomy for posterior capsular opacification. For refractive-error patients not needing surgery, we offer detailed refraction, contact-lens fitting and dry-eye workup with tear-film osmolarity and meibography.

Who we look after in Varanasi city

Our patient community in Varanasi cuts across four broad groups: (1) academic staff, retirees and PhD scholars from BHU / IIT-BHU / MMV, who value a doctor trained at MAMC / Guru Nanak Eye Centre; (2) diabetic patients from Sigra, Bhelupur and Cantt referred for annual dilated retina screening; (3) young families from Sundarpur and Chittaipur for pediatric refractive-error and amblyopia therapy under Dr. Manisha Mishra; and (4) second-opinion patients from all over Varanasi who want a calm, unhurried assessment before committing to premium cataract surgery. Consultations are unhurried by design — Dr. Shantanu allocates 20-30 minutes for a new patient, twice as long as most high-volume clinics.
