About our service

Serving BHU from Varanasi

Shantanu Netralaya sits in Deen Dayal Colony, near Durgakund — a straight 10-minute drive from the Banaras Hindu University main gate. BHU faculty, retired professors, PhD scholars and Sir Sunderlal Hospital referrals form a meaningful part of our patient community. Whether you are looking for a Monofocal, Toric, EDOF or Trifocal IOL, Dr. Shantanu Kumar Gupta (MS, MAMC New Delhi) offers a calm, unhurried consultation and same-day discharge surgery.

Full-spectrum eye care within a short drive of BHU

For residents of BHU, 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. The clinic is a straight 10-minute drive from the BHU main gate — direct auto or personal car via Durgakund is the easiest route.

What's unique about eye-care demand from BHU?

BHU (Banaras Hindu University) is a self-contained academic township of roughly 30,000 students, faculty and staff. The demographic mix — young students, mid-career academics, senior professors and retirees — produces a distinctive presentation pattern at our clinic. Students most often come for refractive-error progression, computer vision syndrome and contact-lens fitting. Faculty in their 40s-50s present for early-cataract counselling and dry-eye assessment. Retired professors are our most frequent premium-cataract candidates. Because of this, our appointment slots for BHU 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 BHU 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.

Getting to Shantanu Netralaya from BHU campus — routes, parking & student concessions

From the Singh Dwar (BHU main gate) the Shantanu Netralaya clinic at 40 Deen Dayal Colony, Kabir Nagar Road (Durgakund) is a 3.2 km drive — about 10 minutes off-peak via Lanka Chowk → Nagwa → Durgakund crossing. The auto share-fare from Lanka to Durgakund is currently ₹15–20 per person; individual auto is ₹80–100. Ola/Uber typically ₹100–140. E-rickshaw options run Lanka → Sundarpur → Durgakund throughout the day. For patients visiting from within the BHU campus (Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Medical Sciences, Trauma Centre, hostel blocks and Ramakrishna Mission Hospital), the fastest route on foot + auto is: exit Singh Dwar, take a shared auto at Lanka Chowk, alight at Durgakund crossing — the clinic is a 2-minute walk toward Kabir Nagar Road. Parking is available on the clinic frontage (2-wheeler and 4-wheeler) at no charge. Wheelchair access is via the ground-floor OPD; a ramp connects the entrance to the reception. If a BHU faculty member or student is accompanying an elderly parent from a hostel or campus quarter, message us on WhatsApp — we reserve mid-morning slots for campus-origin visits so the round trip fits inside a lecture-free window.
