About
Kabutosakа Eye Clinic, located in Hiraoka-cho, Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture, has been supporting local ophthalmological care since its establishment in 1971. Situated approximately 15 minutes on foot from JR Higashi-Kakogawa Station, the clinic also offers convenient access by car with around 30 parking spaces across four locations nearby. The facility is fully barrier-free, providing a considerate environment for those with physical disabilities. Director Dr. Norifumi Kabutosaka studied at Osaka Medical University and, after working at university and community hospitals, has been involved in over 10,000 retinal vitreous and cataract surgeries. The clinic handles a wide range of eye conditions, including laser treatment for retinal diseases, intravitreal injections, and same-day cataract surgery. Vice Director Dr. Izumi Kabutosaka specializes primarily in pediatric strabismus, amblyopia, and contact lens prescriptions, ensuring care for patients from children to adults. Given the high concentration of factories in the surrounding area, the clinic also actively handles workers' compensation cases involving corneal and conjunctival foreign bodies. The clinic operates on a walk-in basis without appointments and also offers home visits for patients who have difficulty traveling. English-language consultations are available, making it an accessible option for those who require communication in languages other than Japanese.
