Highly skilled and trained surgeons for various eye surgery
Vitreo-retinal surgery
Our department has lots of staff who are highly trained for the most advanced vitreo-retinal surgeries. The vitreo-retinal surgeries for highly myopic patients are considered one of the most difficult surgeries, however, we have invented a novel surgical technique to treat this condition. We are highly experienced and skilled for difficult vitreo-retinal surgeries.
Cataract surgery
In addition to conventional cataract surgery, the implantation of multifocal IOL is performed to regain the patients' best satisfaction.

In addition to conventional trabeculectomy, the shunt surgery has been done especially in the patients with secondary glaucoma. Specially appointed Prof. Makoto Aihara, the world leader of glaucoma kindly treats patients and educates our staff.

Diagnostic skills are superb
Although the ophthalmologists can see the fundus directly and use many imaging tools, it is still difficult for most of them to accurately interpret the findings.
Each of our staff is highly trained for ocular imaging.
Correct diagnosis and identifying the cause of visual impairment is a key to the best treatment. So we think diagnostic skills very important and keep training all the time.
