Sugita Ophthalmology Clinic

About

Sugita Ophthalmology Clinic, located a 3-minute walk from "Oji Station" on the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line and Tokyo Metro Namboku Line in Oji, Kita Ward, Tokyo, is an ophthalmology clinic that opened in 2019. The clinic provides English-language services and aims to maintain the eye health of local residents through careful medical care. In terms of medical services, examinations are conducted using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and automated perimetry, which are useful for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma and retinal diseases. OCT examinations capture 3D images of the retina and are useful for detecting lesions that are difficult to identify through examination alone, while automated perimetry examines the field of vision. A fundus camera is installed in the examination room, enabling accurate diagnoses using such examination equipment. Note that visual field testing is scheduled after examination, and the clinic does not support detailed examinations after 3-year-old health checkups or examinations for first-time contact lens wearers, so separate inquiries are required. Patients are advised to bring their health insurance card or My Number card when visiting. Medical examinations are generally conducted in order of arrival, but emergency patients may also be admitted. COVID-19 infection prevention measures are thoroughly implemented at the clinic: doctors and staff wash their hands, disinfect their hands with alcohol, and wear masks, and areas touched by patients are wiped with alcohol after each person. The clinic pays attention to hygiene management, including regular disinfection of waiting rooms and chairs and installation of air disinfection equipment.
