Teranishi Ophthalmology Clinic
About
Teranishi Eye Clinic, located in the Kamui district of Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, has been serving the community's ophthalmological needs since its establishment in 1996. The clinic specializes in the treatment of glaucoma, epiphora (excessive tearing), and dry eye syndrome, providing highly specialized care under the direction of Dr. Chihiro Teranishi, a certified specialist by the Japanese Ophthalmological Society. In addition to general ophthalmology, the clinic treats cataracts, corneal diseases, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, age-related macular degeneration, and other retinal conditions. The facility is well-equipped with advanced medical technology, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), non-mydriatic fundus cameras, laser photocoagulation devices, and YAG lasers, enabling in-house procedures such as lacrimal tube intubation, punctal plug insertion, and laser treatments. For patients requiring cataract surgery, the clinic refers them to affiliated institutions such as Asahikawa Medical University Hospital and Asahikawa Red Cross Hospital, and provides postoperative follow-up care. The clinic features a barrier-free design accessible to patients of all ages, from young children to the elderly, with a naturally lit atrium lobby creating a comfortable waiting area. English-language support is available, and parking facilities are provided. Clinic hours are until 5:00 PM on Mondays and Fridays, mornings only on Tuesdays and Thursdays (afternoons reserved for surgeries), and until noon on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with the second and fourth Saturdays of each month closed.
