About
Hayakawa Eye Clinic, located in Uroozakimachi, Yurihonjo City, Akita Prefecture, has been serving the local community's eye care needs for over 70 years. Beyond general eye examinations and checkups, they offer a wide range of services including contact lens and eyeglass prescriptions, as well as various same-day eye surgeries, establishing long-term trust as the community's primary eye care provider. One of the clinic's notable features is the introduction of the latest retinal camera (Optos Daytona plus by Nikon). This device enables comprehensive examination and diagnosis of the retina's condition without requiring pupil dilation (using eye drops to dilate the pupils), contributing to reduced physical burden on patients. Same-day cataract surgeries are performed every Tuesday, utilizing the latest surgical equipment. Inhalation nitrous oxide sedation is also available to alleviate anxiety during surgery. During consultations, difficult medical terminology is avoided in favor of clear, careful explanations using easy-to-understand language, creating an environment that helps patients deepen their understanding of their eye condition. English-speaking support is available, and the facility is designed to be accessible to a wide range of visitors, with amenities including on-site parking and barrier-free facilities.
