Bhatnagar Eye Care Centre

Bhatnagar Eye Care Centre sits right on Civil Hospital Road, and if you know Karnal, you know how busy that street can get. We are directly opposite the Civil Hospital, so there is a constant stream of people and vehicles moving past our windows. It can be quite loud with all the horns and the ambulances, but after a while, you just stop hearing it. Inside, we have our eye charts set up on the walls and the specialized chairs for the patients. The light in the exam rooms is kept a bit low, which is a nice break from the bright sun outside. We’ve got a display case with different frames that we have to wipe down every single morning because the road dust finds its way in no matter what we do. The staff here has been together for a bit, so we have our own way of doing things. We know which floorboard creaks and which drawer sticks. It’s a small operation, really. We spend our time looking into eyes and helping people figure out their prescriptions. Sometimes we just sit in the back room and have a cup of tea while looking out at the hospital across the way. It’s a very local feel, and we’ve gotten to know the shopkeepers nearby. People stop in because they saw the sign while walking to the hospital, and we just take it one person at a time.
