About our service

Serving Assi Ghat from Varanasi

Assi Ghat and its adjoining neighbourhoods — Bhadaini, Nagwa and Assi Road — are home to a distinctive mix of older Varanasi families, PG students, expat scholars and Ayurveda practitioners. Shantanu Netralaya is a 10-minute drive from Assi Chowk via Nagwa → Durgakund. Same-day cataract surgery + OCT-guided retina consultations mean the retiree community of Assi doesn't need to travel outside Varanasi for premium care.

Full-spectrum eye care within a short drive of Assi Ghat

For residents of Assi Ghat, Shantanu Netralaya offers what most standalone eye clinics do not: a single-roof service model that combines premium cataract surgery, medical retina, dry-eye management and pediatric eye care. Dr. Shantanu Kumar Gupta (MS, MAMC New Delhi; FICO Merit) handles adult cataract and medical retina — including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and retinal vein occlusion. Dr. Manisha Mishra (MBBS Gold Medalist; MS, MAMC) handles pediatric ophthalmology, squint surgery and complex-cataract cases. Assi Chowk to Durgakund is a 10-minute drive via Nagwa — most Assi residents reach us in under 15 min.

What's unique about eye-care demand from Assi Ghat?

Assi Ghat and its adjoining lanes — Bhadaini, Nagwa, Assi Road — house long-time Kashi families, PG students, expat scholars and Ayurveda practitioners. The bilingual clinical demand here favours English-fluent consultation with unhurried counselling, especially for premium cataract IOL choice and medical retina. Because of this, our appointment slots for Assi Ghat residents lean towards evening consultations (after 5 PM) and Saturday-morning surgery days. We also keep dedicated screening slots for adults over 40 who have never had a comprehensive eye examination — a one-hour visit that includes refraction, IOP measurement, slit-lamp evaluation, dilated fundus exam and, where indicated, OCT retina imaging.

Booking, insurance and same-day discharge for Assi Ghat patients

Booking is easiest on WhatsApp (+91 83186 65154) — send a short note describing your symptoms and we will confirm a slot within business hours. Cashless approvals are arranged with all major insurers before your surgery date, and Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) is accepted for eligible patients. Cataract surgery here is same-day discharge: arrive at 8 AM, have MICS phacoemulsification under topical anaesthesia by 10 AM, spend two hours in observation, and go home by lunchtime. A follow-up review the next morning and again at one week is standard.
