Shimizu Ophthalmology Clinic
About
Shimizu Eye Clinic, located in Aoyamanishi, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, is an ophthalmology specialty clinic opened in October 2018 by Director Toshinari Shimizu, who accumulated extensive clinical experience in the ophthalmology department of Himeji Red Cross Hospital. The director has performed approximately 20,000 cataract surgeries, 1,500 glaucoma surgeries, and 2,400 vitreoretinal surgeries, demonstrating advanced surgical expertise and the ability to manage a wide range of ophthalmic conditions. In addition to general ophthalmological care, the clinic treats diverse conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and dry eye, and also provides pediatric ophthalmology services covering strabismus and amblyopia from newborns through childhood. In May 2019, a dedicated surgical wing was added, enabling same-day surgeries for cataracts, glaucoma, and external eye diseases to be performed on-site, in a comfortable surgical environment equipped with high-performance instruments and microscopes. The facility is fully barrier-free, accommodating wheelchairs and strollers, with dedicated parking and bicycle spaces available on the premises. English-language consultations are available, making the clinic accessible to patients who require care in languages other than Japanese. Rooted in the Nishi-Harima region, the clinic is committed to delivering the latest evidence-based ophthalmic care and extending the healthy vision lifespan of local residents.
