Jimbocho Tanemoto Ophthalmology
About
Jimbōcho Tanemoto Eye Clinic is an ophthalmology specialty clinic located in Kanda Nishikichō, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. It handles a wide range of eye conditions including glaucoma, cataracts, allergic conjunctivitis (hay fever), dry eye, fundus diseases (diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, etc.), and pediatric ophthalmology, serving as a key provider of local eye care. One of the clinic's distinguishing features is its same-day surgery program. Procedures such as blepharoptosis (drooping eyelids), trichiasis (inverted eyelashes), and hordeolum incision (styes) can be performed without hospitalization, all covered by health insurance. The clinic has introduced low-concentration nitrous oxide sedation (inhalation anesthesia) for surgeries, creating an environment where patients can undergo treatment with reduced fear and anxiety. Additionally, the clinic performs detailed examinations using OCT (optical coherence tomography) as a specialized glaucoma assessment, and provides thorough evaluations for patients flagged for optic disc cupping enlargement during health screenings. Clinic hours are 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM; closed on Sundays and public holidays.
