Noichi Ophthalmology
About
Located in Nanchi Town, Nankoku City, Kochi Prefecture, this ophthalmology clinic contributes to community healthcare as an eye care specialist. The clinic ensures accessibility with English language support, parking facilities, and a barrier-free environment. In clinical practice, the clinic emphasizes thorough patient consultation and detailed explanations of current conditions and treatment methods, displaying anterior segment and fundus images on screen to enhance understanding. This meticulous approach is backed by Dr. Toru Takahashi's expertise as a PhD holder and a board-certified ophthalmologist of the Japanese Ophthalmological Society. Surgical procedures include day surgeries for cataracts and pterygium, nasolacrimal duct intubation for nasolacrimal duct obstruction, CO2 laser-assisted blepharoptosis surgery, and intravitreal anti-VEGF injections for age-related macular degeneration and macular edema. Various laser treatments are available, including laser photocoagulation for retinal tears, YAG laser treatment for posterior capsule opacification, and selective laser trabeculoplasty for glaucoma. Diagnostic equipment includes OCT for retinal cross-sectional imaging and SLO wide-angle fundus cameras capable of capturing 200-degree views in a single shot. The operating room is equipped with state-of-the-art day surgery facilities. These advanced resources support not only general ophthalmic care but also comprehensive services including diabetes and hypertension risk screening through eye examinations, eyewear prescriptions, and contact lens consultations.
