Sugaya Ophthalmology Clinic
About
Sugaya Eye Clinic, a medical corporation located in Minami-Otsuka, Toshima Ward, is an ophthalmology clinic specializing in vision impairment and visual symptoms. The clinic's official website classifies causes of vision decline into three categories: abnormalities in the light pathway, retinal abnormalities, and optic nerve abnormalities, providing detailed information on related conditions for each. The clinic explains refractive errors and cataracts as light pathway abnormalities; retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal hemorrhage as retinal abnormalities; and glaucoma and cerebrovascular diseases as optic nerve abnormalities. Regular hospital visits are recommended even for asymptomatic diabetic patients. Glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy are among the top two causes of blindness, but blindness can be prevented with appropriate treatment, so the clinic emphasizes the importance of regular check-ups for diagnosed patients. Online reservations and reception status checking are available, with estimated waiting times: within 10 minutes for up to 3 patients, over 30 minutes for up to 6 patients, and over 60 minutes for 10 or more patients. The clinic offers multilingual support, allowing patients to receive consultations in multiple languages including English and Korean.
