Sri Sankaradeva Nethralaya

If you head down to 96Basistha Road, you will find Sri Sankaradeva Nethralaya. We are an eye hospital, so our daily life revolves around vision. It’s a specialized place, which means we don't see the usual emergency room chaos. Instead, it is a lot of people sitting in the waiting room waiting for their eye drops to work or for their turn with the machines. We have been at this location for many years, and the neighborhood knows us well. The doctors here spend their whole day looking through lenses and checking charts. It takes a lot of focus to work on eyes. The building at 96Basistha Road stays pretty full from early morning until the sun goes down. We have nurses who walk people through their tests and help them understand how to use their new glasses. It’s a steady pace. Sometimes we have a long list of surgeries, and those days are a bit more stressful, but we get through it. We aren't part of some big medical chain. We just focus on this one thing and try to do it right every day. The floors are a bit worn from all the feet walking over them, and the waiting room chairs aren't the softest, but we keep the equipment top-notch. It’s important work because seeing clearly makes a big difference in someone's life. We are just glad to be here doing it and helping people see the world a bit better.
