Cataract Surgery in Shahdara — One Change from Save Sight Centre
Shahdara holds a special place in Delhi's history — it's where the city's very first metro corridor began. That same well-established Red Line still connects you to Save Sight Centre in Adarsh Nagar, with just one change along the way. We offer PHACO, MICS and FLACS cataract surgery, with every lens type priced from ₹15,000 per eye.
Did You Know Shahdara Made Delhi Metro History?
Back on 25 December 2002, the stretch between Shahdara and Tis Hazari became the very first section of the Delhi Metro to open to the public — long before most of today's network existed. More than two decades later, that same Red Line corridor is still one of the steadiest ways to get across the city, and it connects neatly to Save Sight Centre in Adarsh Nagar with a single change at Kashmere Gate. Patients from Shahdara, Welcome Colony and Seelampur come to us for cataract, glaucoma and general eye care, and Dr. Rajeev Jain and Dr. Shuchi Gupta personally see you through the entire process, from your first consultation to your final follow-up.
By Metro · ~23-25 min
Red Line from Shahdara to Kashmere Gate, then change to the Yellow Line towards Adarsh Nagar — about 13 km, 1 change.
By Car / Cab · ~35-45 min
Roughly 12-14 km via the Ring Road, depending on traffic through central Delhi.
By Bus · ~50-60 min
Several DTC routes connect Shahdara to Adarsh Nagar, though the metro is usually the quicker option.
Address: A-14, G.T. Karnal Road, opposite Adarsh Nagar Metro Station, Adarsh Nagar, North Delhi.
PHACO, MICS or FLACS — Which Technique Fits Your Eye?
All three techniques remove the clouded lens and replace it with a clear one, but the tools, incision size and recovery pace differ. Save Sight Centre offers all three so your surgeon can match the technique to your specific eye rather than defaulting to one option.
Your surgeon recommends the right technique only after examining your eye — there's no single default for everyone.
Monofocal, Multifocal or EDOF — What Suits Your Daily Life?
Your lens choice affects how much you'll still depend on glasses once you've healed. Save Sight Centre carries Monofocal, Multifocal/Trifocal and EDOF lenses, with Toric versions of each for patients who also have astigmatism.
Monofocal Lens (Toric Available)
Reliable single-distance vision, and the most affordable choice.
Multifocal / Trifocal Lens (Toric Available)
Covers near, mid and far vision together, cutting down on glasses.
EDOF Lens (Toric Available)
A stretched, continuous focus range with fewer night-time glare complaints.
What Should Shahdara Patients Expect to Pay?
We publish our rates upfront so you know the numbers before making the trip across town. These are the same figures our counsellors quote in person.
Your surgeon confirms the final cost after assessing your eye and lens preference.
All major insurance companies, PSU, TPA and Govt. plans are accepted at Save Sight Centre.
The Doctors Who'll Actually Operate on You
No rotating panel of visiting consultants — the surgeon who examines your eyes is the one who operates and sees you through recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — the section between Shahdara and Tis Hazari was the very first stretch of the Delhi Metro to open, back in December 2002. That same Red Line still connects Shahdara to Save Sight Centre today, via one change at Kashmere Gate.
Common early signs include blurry or cloudy vision, colours appearing dull or faded, difficulty reading in dim light, and increased glare from headlights or bright sunlight. A quick check-up at Save Sight Centre can confirm the cause.
No, Save Sight Centre uses local anaesthesia with numbing eye drops, so most patients feel only mild pressure, not pain, during surgery.
Many patients notice clearer vision within a day or two, with full stabilisation typically taking 1 to 4 weeks depending on the lens and technique used.
Yes, you shouldn't drive yourself home right after the procedure since your vision will be blurry initially. We recommend bringing a family member or friend for the trip back to Shahdara.
Most health insurance plans cover cataract surgery since it's medically necessary. Save Sight Centre's front desk can verify your specific policy's cashless eligibility before your visit.
Save Sight Centre typically treats one eye first and schedules the second a few days to weeks later, once your surgeon confirms the first eye is healing properly.
Whether you take the Red Line via Kashmere Gate or drive in, Save Sight Centre offers cataract surgery starting at ₹15,000 per eye across all lens types, with the final cost depending on the lens and technique chosen.
