Higashiyama Sanjo Yokoi Ophthalmology Clinic
About
Located near the Higashioji-Sanjo intersection in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Higashiyama Sanjo Yokoi Eye Clinic is conveniently accessible with a 2-minute walk from Higashiyama Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway Tozai Line and directly in front of the Higashiyama Sanjo bus stop. Serving as a community ophthalmology clinic, they provide general eye care alongside specialized treatments for dry eye, conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, and conjunctivochalasis, offering state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment for dry eye and conjunctivochalasis. They also monitor children's visual development, provide medical treatment and follow-up for cataracts and glaucoma, and diagnose and monitor diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. For infection prevention, they implement careful measures including acrylic partitions, expanded waiting areas, enhanced ventilation, equipment disinfection, and thermal imaging installation. Appointments are not required except on Wednesdays, and medications are dispensed on-site, eliminating the need to visit an external pharmacy. They also provide home visit ophthalmology services for patients who have difficulty visiting the clinic. While they do not perform surgery, they are prepared to coordinate with nearby advanced medical facilities such as Kyoto University Hospital and Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Hospital to provide referral letters when necessary.
