The retina is the most fragile — and most under-diagnosed — part of the eye. In eastern Uttar Pradesh, undetected diabetic retinopathy remains a leading cause of preventable adult blindness. At Shantanu Netralaya, every retina consult begins with high-resolution OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) so that we see, and show you, the exact layer of retina involved — before any treatment plan is proposed.
Conditions we manage
Diabetic retinopathy (all stages, including macular edema) · Age-related macular degeneration (dry and wet, with anti-VEGF therapy) · Retinal vein occlusion (central and branch) · Central serous retinopathy · Vitreo-retinal follow-up after surgery elsewhere · Second-opinion review of retina reports from other centres.
Retina injections — what to expect
Anti-VEGF intravitreal injections are performed in a sterile procedure room using topical anaesthesia. The whole visit — check-in, dilation, OCT, counselling, injection, post-injection review — typically takes 90 minutes. You resume most normal activity the same evening. Follow-up is scheduled at 4 weeks by default and adjusted per response.
retina specialist Varanasi — patient FAQs
Do I need a referral for a retina consult in Varanasi?+
No referral is needed. You can walk in with any recent reports (OCT, blood-sugar / HbA1c, prior prescriptions) — we will review them and, if needed, repeat any imaging on the same visit.
How many retina injections will I need?+
Wet AMD, diabetic macular edema and RVO typically respond over a series of 3 monthly loading doses followed by an as-needed maintenance schedule. You get a written plan after your first OCT — no open-ended commitments.
