Kono Ophthalmology
About
Located on the 3rd floor of Sunrise Kakogawa Building, immediately visible from the south exit of JR Kakogawa Station, Kono Eye Clinic is an ophthalmology clinic staffed by specialist ophthalmologists. A distinctive feature of the clinic is its commitment to intraocular pressure measurement. Rather than using non-contact tonometers commonly found at many eye clinics, the clinic employs Goldmann applanation tonometers—the standard recommended by the Japanese Ophthalmological Society's glaucoma treatment guidelines—with the clinic director personally conducting measurements. Additionally, handheld applanation tonometers and iCare tonometers are used as appropriate, demonstrating the clinic's emphasis on precise IOP management. The clinic has also introduced a unique system that allows patients to visually confirm their own floaters, as well as advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment including the Super Lizer near-infrared therapy device and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). During lunch hours, the clinic provides home-visit medical services, reflecting its dedication to community healthcare. The facility is barrier-free accessible and accommodates patients with hearing concerns. English-language support is available, and the clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments, with partner parking also accessible. Guided by a philosophy of providing thorough explanations to patients, the clinic continues to serve as a trusted community eye care provider.
