Asg Eye Hospital, Nagpura

Our place, Asg Eye Hospital, is right at House No 30 in Sainik Colony. If you know where Sugan Singh Circle is, we are just near there, which makes it pretty easy for people to find us without getting lost in the lanes. It is a busy spot most mornings. We have a few rooms set up for eye checks and there is a waiting area that gets quite full by ten o'clock. The staff here mostly grew up around Nagpura, so we know the local faces and the families who come in. It isn't a massive corporate building or anything like that. It feels more like a regular house because it basically is one. We have the usual equipment for checking vision and some desks for the paperwork. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait a minute for the backup to kick in, but that is just how things go here. We spend a lot of time talking to elderly folks who come in for their check-ups. The windows look out onto the street where you can see the tea stalls and the traffic moving towards the circle. It gets a bit noisy during the lunch hour when the school kids are passing by. We try to keep things organized but sometimes the files pile up on the main desk. It is just a handful of us working here every day, trying to help people see a bit better.
