Wakita Ophthalmology
About
Wakita Ophthalmology Clinic, located in Ikegami, Ota Ward, a 3-minute walk from Ikegami Station on the Tokyu Ikegami Line, has been serving the community for over 70 years since opening in 1952. The clinic operates Monday through Saturday from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM. In addition to general ophthalmology, the clinic specializes in myopia treatment for children, which has become a growing concern in recent years. Services include orthokeratology, low-concentration atropine eye drops, and electrical stimulation therapy for accommodative spasm. Orthokeratology involves wearing therapeutic hard contact lenses during sleep to reshape the cornea and improve uncorrected vision during daytime. The clinic also offers IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment for dry eye. Visual field tests, orthokeratology examinations, and Ota Ward glaucoma screenings require advance reservations. While appointments are prioritized, first-time contact lens fittings, eyeglass prescriptions, and dilated eye examinations require arrival at least one hour before closing. The facility provides parking and barrier-free access, and accepts credit cards and electronic payments.
