For more than 30 years — since 1993 — families from across Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have travelled to Suraj Eye Institute, Nagpur, for the kind of specialist eye care that is hard to find closer to home. Internationally trained, widely published surgeons, advanced technology and an NABH-accredited hospital — with a Hindi-speaking help desk that looks after your travel, stay and treatment.
Many serious and complex eye conditions need specialist treatment, advanced equipment and an experienced team that may not be available in your own town or district. Suraj Eye Institute brings all of it together in Nagpur — the city at the very centre of India, easy to reach from every part of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
A referral centre for difficult retina, cornea, glaucoma and children’s eye problems — the cases that are often told “nothing more can be done” elsewhere. You are seen by senior, fellowship-trained specialists.
Both our campuses meet the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals (NABH) standards for quality, hygiene, surgical safety and patient rights — the benchmark for trusted care in India.
Home of the landmark Central India Eye and Medical Study, with international collaborations. You are treated by people who help define how eye disease is understood and treated.
Latest-generation diagnostics and microsurgery — OCT and Heidelberg imaging, premium intraocular lenses, specialty contact lenses and an in-house eye bank for corneal transplantation.
Our patient help desk speaks Hindi. From your first phone call to your journey home, one team guides you on appointments, tests, travel and where to stay — so an outstation visit feels simple.
A clear, written cost estimate after your examination, with no hidden charges — plus help with cashless schemes, insurance and a budget place to stay so your trip costs less.

Nagpur sits at the geographic centre of the country (the famous “Zero Mile”), so it is one of the best-connected cities in India. From most parts of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh you can reach us comfortably by train, bus, car or taxi — often in just a few hours.
Nagpur Junction is one of India’s busiest railway hubs, on the main lines of Central Railway and South East Central Railway. Direct trains run from Raipur, Bilaspur, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Itarsi, Betul, Balaghat, Gondia and many more stations.
Regular state-transport and private buses connect Nagpur with towns across both states. Government and private sleeper/AC coaches run to Nagpur’s main bus stands at Ganeshpeth and MorBhavan, a short ride from the hospital.
Excellent national highways link Nagpur to both states (NH-44, NH-53 and others). Self-drive or a hired taxi is convenient, especially for families and elderly patients. Tell our help desk your town and we will help you plan the easiest route.
