Kobe i Clinic
About
Kobe i Clinic, located on Port Island in Chuo Ward, Kobe City, is an online medical clinic specializing in ophthalmology. The clinic offers two specialized online outpatient services: low vision consultations by Director Satoshi Nakazumi and retinal regenerative medicine consultations by Dr. Masayo Takahashi. The low vision care program provides comprehensive information on support options, including assistive devices and visual training, for patients whose vision cannot be improved through standard treatments such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery. The retinal regenerative medicine consultation addresses intractable retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, offering consultations on cutting-edge treatment techniques aimed at functional recovery through transplantation of retinal cells derived from stem cells. All consultations are provided on a self-pay basis, with a fully integrated online system handling everything from appointment booking to consultations and payment. Patients seeking retinal regenerative medicine consultations are required to upload ophthalmological examination images such as OCT scans, visual field tests, and fundus photographs in advance, though mail submission is available for those who have difficulty with online registration. The clinic offers English support and accepts credit cards and electronic payments, creating an accessible environment for a wide range of patients.
