Medical science has made remarkable advances in recent years, with new treatments being developed every day. Ophthalmology, in particular, is perhaps the field that has undergone the most rapid transformation. The introduction of laser equipment, diagnostic imaging devices, high-performance surgical microscopes, and minimally invasive surgical equipment has improved diagnostic accuracy, reduced the physical burden of surgery, and even improved postoperative visual function (eye function). Our department has always been and will continue to be trusted for its high-quality medical care, allowing patients to visit with peace of mind, and we will continue to proactively build a medical system in which all staff members always do their best.
Our department makes full use of various imaging testing equipment for diagnosis, selection of treatment plans, evaluation of treatment effectiveness, etc. In particular, we have two types of optical coherence tomography for vitreoretinal diseases and one for anterior segment diseases.
Using optical coherence tomography, it is possible to visualize the minute structures of the retina and subretina as tomographic images. This allows for the evaluation of the lesion site and minute changes in the retina in macular diseases such as macular hole and age-related macular degeneration, and allows for information on the progression of the disease, the effectiveness of treatment, and visual prognosis.
Recently, we have introduced a device called OCTangiography, which can visualize vascular structure. OCTangiography allows us to evaluate vascular structural changes in conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion without the need for contrast agents.
In addition, OCT can be used to quantify defects in the retinal nerve fiber layer in glaucoma, and is also useful for depicting various retinal and nerve abnormalities in high myopia, which is common among Japanese people.
Advances in ophthalmology treatment are constantly advancing. Numerous treatments are being developed in the pursuit of better visual function. However, the latest treatments are not necessarily the best for all patients. At our department, we thoroughly evaluate the condition of each patient's eyes, and after taking into consideration the experience we have accumulated and the latest knowledge, we select and implement the safest treatment that will contribute to improving the patient's visual function.
Our department actively participates in various clinical trials, contributes to the establishment of new treatments, and strives to put new treatments into practice as quickly as possible by experiencing their effects before they are released to the market.We also evaluate treatment outcomes through clinical research and strive to discover knowledge that will be useful for new diagnoses and treatments.
Our department is equipped with various equipment for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

In order to examine fundus lesions such as floaters, retinal hemorrhage, and retinal detachment in detail, a fundus examination using a mydriatic is necessary. When a mydriatic is used, the pupils will dilate in 20 to 60 minutes, although this varies from person to person, and a feeling of decreased vision will persist for about 4 to 6 hours afterwards.
Please refrain from driving to the hospital on the day of your appointment. It may also be difficult to perform detailed tasks using your eyes.
