Kitakawa Ophthalmology
About
Kitagawa Eye Clinic, operated by the medical corporation Hokushikai, is an ophthalmology specialist clinic located in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture, dedicated to supporting the eye health of the local community. The clinic is equipped with the latest medical technology and focuses on the early detection and treatment of eye conditions including glaucoma, with a particular emphasis on recommending regular eye examinations for patients aged 40 and above. Given the difficulty of recovering lost visual fields, the clinic places great importance on a preventive approach. It also actively addresses vision deterioration in children, catering to patients across a wide range of ages. The clinic features full inpatient facilities with 19 beds, providing a reassuring environment for pre- and post-operative care. In addition, it offers unique services targeting psychogenic vision loss, such as eye strain relief massage and aromatherapy sessions that parents and children can enjoy together. The clinic also houses an in-house "Goldfish Café" serving a menu designed with eye health in mind. Consultations are available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, both in the morning (9:00–13:00) and afternoon (15:00–18:00; Wednesday afternoons are limited to eye examinations only). English-language support, parking facilities, and barrier-free access are all available.
