Where we are, and where you are
Karchana lies on the road between Prayagraj city and Meja, in the southern part of the district. Indumati Netralaya is on Meja Road, Near HDFC Bank, Opposite D.G.S Marriage Hall, Meja, Prayagraj. We say plainly that the hospital is in Meja rather than in Karchana — but for Karchana town and the villages towards Chaka, Ghurpur and Arail, it is the nearest NABH Entry Level certified eye hospital, and it is a great deal closer than Prayagraj city.
Free surgery under Ayushman Bharat
If you hold an Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) card, or qualify under the UP DBCS scheme, your eye operation is free — the surgery, the lens and the follow-up visits. This applies wherever in the district you live. Bring the card and your Aadhaar; our team checks eligibility before anything is scheduled, so you know where you stand before you commit to a date.
Spectacles and contact lenses are not covered by the scheme. We say so here rather than at the counter.

Getting here from Karchana
Karchana sits on the Meja Road corridor south of Prayagraj city. Continue along Meja Road past Karchana and we are in Meja, near HDFC Bank and opposite D.G.S Marriage Hall. We are open 9am to 6:30pm, Monday to Saturday. Call +91 80815 65880 before you travel — it costs nothing and it means you are not making the journey on a day that does not suit.
Free eye camps
We run free eye camps across the villages of Prayagraj, Mirzapur and Kaushambi — screening people where they live, rather than waiting for them to travel. If you want to know when the next camp is near Karchana, or you want to request one for your village, call us or see the camps page.
