Horikawa Ophthalmology Kugayama Inokashira-dori
About
This ophthalmology clinic is located in Miyamae, Suginami Ward, Tokyo, specializing in retinal diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, floaters, and age-related macular degeneration. The clinic is equipped with fundus examination, fundus camera, and fundus OCT devices, enabling precise visual field testing using equipment equivalent to university hospitals. Confirming glaucoma diagnosis requires about 20 minutes of precise visual field testing, and the clinic has a system in place for patients to undergo the test and receive a doctor's explanation of the results on the same day without requiring multiple visits. Laser treatments for retinal diseases and glaucoma are performed on an outpatient basis, and the clinic also handles pediatric ophthalmology, where early detection and early treatment are crucial. For glasses and contact lens prescriptions, the clinic recommends customized options for each patient, including hard lenses. The clinic also offers myopia correction treatment using orthokeratology lenses approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in 2012, and uses OPD-Scan, a precise examination device that can detect visual quality, to measure eye conditions in detail. For conjunctivitis treatment, the clinic provides specialized care, such as prescribing steroid eye drops when necessary to prevent complications from epidemic keratoconjunctivitis caused by adenovirus. All examinations are performed by certified full-time orthoptists under the direction of the ophthalmologist director, providing accurate and comprehensive care for patients of all ages. Patients are generally called for examination and consultation in the order of arrival. In addition to English support, the clinic is equipped with parking and barrier-free facilities. Closed days are Thursdays, Sundays, holidays, year-end and New Year holidays, and the Obon period.
