Ninomiya Ophthalmology Clinic
About
Located just a one-minute walk from Hankyu Itami Station in Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture, Ninomiya Eye Clinic has served the community's ophthalmology needs since its establishment in 1973. Dr. Sakae Sugisawa, the clinic director, graduated from Hyogo Medical University and obtained ophthalmology specialist certification after gaining experience at multiple hospitals. He is a member of numerous academic societies, including the Japanese Ophthalmological Society and the Japanese Society of Ophthalmic Surgery. A notable feature of the clinic is its state-of-the-art OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) equipment. This device captures magnified cross-sectional images of the retina and precisely measures its thickness, enabling early detection and diagnosis of conditions such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy that are difficult to detect with conventional fundus cameras. In addition to general ophthalmology, the clinic provides surgical procedures, dry eye treatment, and eye health consultations. A wide selection of contact lenses is available, ranging from disposable to toric and bifocal options, with warranty systems and discount programs. English-language services are available, and the facility is barrier-free, creating an accessible environment for all patients. Credit cards and electronic money are accepted, and various health insurance plans and workers' compensation are supported.
