Sone Clinic
About
Located in Kokubunji City, Tokyo, just a 4-minute walk from the north exit of Kokubunji Station on the JR Chuo Line, Sone Clinic is a specialized ophthalmology practice. Director Dr. Ryuichiro Sone is a board-certified ophthalmologist accredited by the Japanese Ophthalmological Society, a public interest incorporated foundation. The clinic offers a wide range of ophthalmic services, including cataract surgery (same-day intraocular lens implantation), glaucoma laser surgery, retinal photocoagulation, and examinations for ocular complications associated with hypertension and diabetes. Beyond general ophthalmic care, the clinic also handles first-time eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions as well as detailed fundus examinations, providing comprehensive support for the community's eye health. A notable feature of the clinic is its commitment to providing clear, easy-to-understand explanations. For cataract surgery, pre- and post-operative management is carried out in a comfortable private room, and medications are dispensed on-site through in-house prescribing. The facility features a barrier-free, wheelchair-accessible design and a dedicated parking lot, ensuring a patient-friendly environment. For those who have difficulty visiting the clinic, ophthalmology home visits are available upon consultation. The clinic also maintains referral relationships with Tokyo Medical University Hospital and nearby metropolitan and public hospitals. Patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis, and no appointment is required for general consultations, though certain examinations do require advance booking.
