Higashi Saito Ophthalmology
About
Located in Koga City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Higashi Saito Eye Clinic has been providing specialized ophthalmic care rooted in the local community since its establishment in 1981. Director Tsuneaki Saito, MD, PhD, a graduate of Jikei University School of Medicine, has served as an ophthalmology specialist for many years, contributing to local eye care. The clinic's same-day cataract surgery, which uses topical anesthesia and a short-duration procedure, is available even for patients with systemic conditions. Decisions regarding surgical necessity and timing are made after careful consultation that considers the patient's occupation and daily living circumstances, with a counseling system tailored to each individual's situation. In addition to contact lens prescriptions, the clinic also offers orthokeratology treatment, which aims to improve uncorrected daytime vision by wearing lenses during sleep. The clinic employs multiple ophthalmology specialists and is equipped to handle highly specialized conditions including glaucoma, lacrimal duct disorders, and diabetic retinopathy. The clinic accepts physician rotations from Jikei University School of Medicine, ensuring continuous maintenance of medical standards. With English-language support available, as well as parking and barrier-free facilities, the clinic offers an accessible environment for a wide range of patients.
