About our service

Serving Lanka from Varanasi

Lanka is the vibrant student-and-shopper corridor between BHU and Assi Ghat, densely populated with paying-guest housing, cafés and mid-town families. Shantanu Netralaya is a seven-minute drive from Lanka Chowk via Durgakund. Cataract surgery, retina injections and dry-eye care are all offered under one roof — with insurance/cashless empanelment for most major insurers.

Full-spectrum eye care within a short drive of Lanka

For residents of Lanka, 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. Lanka Chowk is a 7-minute drive via Durgakund — most residents reach us in under 10 minutes by auto or personal car.

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

Lanka is Varanasi's student-and-shopper corridor between BHU and Assi Ghat, densely populated with paying-guest housing, cafés, hostels and mid-town families. This produces a bimodal patient pattern: students with contact-lens problems, refractive-error progression and screen-fatigue on one end; and older Lanka residents with age-related cataract, dry-eye and glaucoma on the other. Same-week appointment availability is unusually high for Lanka residents because of this proximity. Because of this, our appointment slots for Lanka 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 Lanka 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.
