About
Meru Eye Clinic is an ophthalmology specialty clinic conveniently located just a 2-minute walk from the North Exit of Tanashi Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line in Nishitokyo City, Tokyo. Director Dr. Takamoto Tokunaga is a board-certified ophthalmologist accredited by the Japan Ophthalmological Society and has been serving the community's eye care needs since the clinic's founding in 2008. The clinic handles a wide range of eye conditions, from general ophthalmology to intravitreal injections and outpatient cataract surgery. Cataract surgeries are offered three days a week—Monday, Friday, and Saturday—allowing patients to schedule appointments that fit their lifestyles. In 2025, the clinic introduced the latest cataract surgery system, the VERITAS Vision System, demonstrating its commitment to advanced equipment. The clinic also focuses on early glaucoma detection using 3D OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and provides precise diagnostics for retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Glasses and contact lens prescriptions are also available, with a cooperative arrangement with the adjacent optical shop Kiseido. The clinic is open on weekends and holidays, offers parking and barrier-free facilities, and accepts credit cards and electronic payments, ensuring an accessible environment for diverse patient needs.
