Kotakemukaihara Ophthalmology Clinic
About
Kotake Mukaihara Eye Clinic, located in Kotake-cho, Nerima Ward, Tokyo, opened in March 2017 as a specialized ophthalmology clinic. Under the philosophy of 'listening to patients and valuing communication,' Director Dr. Takae Enomoto provides ophthalmic care for patients of all ages, from children to the elderly. The clinic places particular emphasis on pediatric ophthalmology, offering precision examinations using cycloplegic agents for children identified with vision decline during school health screenings, accurately differentiating between pseudomyopia and true myopia. For myopia progression control, the clinic utilizes optical coherence biometry (AL-Scan) for axial length measurement and, since 2025, has begun prescribing Santen Pharmaceutical's eye drops 'Ryjusia Mini,' providing the latest treatment options. In dry eye treatment, the clinic has introduced Lumenis's IPL phototherapy device 'OptiLight M22,' offering new alternatives for patients who found conventional eye drop treatments insufficient. Additionally, on the afternoons of the first and third Wednesdays, the clinic operates a low vision outpatient service, supporting visually impaired patients with trials of tinted glasses and video magnifiers. Pediatric ophthalmology for strabismus and amblyopia is also provided by certified orthoptists, maintaining a highly specialized staff structure. The clinic is equipped with parking and is barrier-free, making it easily accessible for wheelchair users and patients with mobility concerns. While primarily appointment-based, new patients can book initial consultations online, ensuring ease of access to care.
