Osanai Ophthalmology Clinic
About
Ochanai Ophthalmology Clinic is a specialized eye clinic located in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. A notable feature of the clinic is that it starts treatments from early morning, providing an environment where patients can be examined before commuting to work or school. The clinic director, Dr. Ochanai, is an ophthalmology specialist who gained extensive experience at the Department of Ophthalmology at Sapporo Medical University, subsequently mastering plastic surgery techniques, and holds a medical doctorate. With experience as an invited speaker at international ophthalmology conferences, Dr. Ochanai has an impressive academic record. The clinic specializes in ptosis surgery, epiphora (excessive tearing), and trichiasis (ingrown eyelashes)—areas that are less commonly treated at general eye clinics. Rather than performing common procedures such as cataract surgery, the clinic offers dedicated care focusing on these specialized fields. Ptosis surgery is covered by health insurance and can be performed on a same-day basis. The director personally handles all examinations and treatments, and the clinic receives many referrals from other hospitals. Services are also available in English and Korean, and the clinic has its own parking facilities.
