About
Located in Asahikawa Medical Village in Midorigaokahigashi, Asahikawa, Sogawa Eye Clinic is an ophthalmology clinic that opened in 2019. The clinic director brings extensive surgical experience from Asahikawa Medical University Hospital, performing over 1,000 procedures annually since opening. The clinic particularly specializes in day surgery, handling not only standard cataract surgery (monofocal and multifocal intraocular lenses) but also complex cases. They also perform advanced vitreoretinal surgeries for conditions such as retinal detachment, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, retinal vein occlusion, and age-related macular degeneration, with a system in place to handle urgent cases promptly. A relaxing environment is prepared before surgery, reflecting consideration for reducing patient burden. General outpatient hours are from 9 AM to 12 PM and 2 PM to 6 PM (closed Sundays and holidays), and the clinic provides contact lens and eyewear prescriptions. English-language medical services are another feature of the clinic. The facility offers parking for approximately 80 vehicles and is barrier-free accessible, creating a convenient environment for diverse visitors. Treating common ophthalmic conditions such as glaucoma, epiphora, conjunctivitis, and styes, the clinic serves as a well-established center for ophthalmic care in the Asahikawa area.
