About

Located in the Hamada district of Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Hanemoto Eye Clinic specializes in age-related macular degeneration and outpatient surgery. Since its opening in November 2019, Director Dr. Tsai Zai (塙本宰) has been contributing 33 years of ophthalmological experience and expertise to local healthcare. The clinic particularly emphasizes outpatient surgery, actively performing cataract surgery, as well as high-difficulty retinal diseases such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, epiretinal membrane, and macular hole, along with glaucoma surgery for cases where medication control is challenging. For cataract surgery, they offer a wide range of options from monofocal intraocular lenses (insurance-covered) to multifocal intraocular lenses (selected treatment), enabling treatment tailored to each patient's lifestyle. Dr. Hanemoto has performed over 10,000 vitrectomy and cataract surgeries each, with a total of over 30,000 procedures, and his expertise is highly recognized domestically and internationally, including multiple academic awards from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and selection for Best Doctors in Japan (2022-2025 editions). For cases requiring hospitalization, multiple options are available including affiliated facilities and partner hotels, allowing flexible responses according to patient conditions. English-language consultation is available, along with credit card and electronic payment options, and the clinic is equipped with parking and barrier-free facilities.
