Representative Eye Diseases and Symptoms

[Accurate Diagnosis and Clear Explanations]
As needed, we perform examinations with various medical devices, and all images are shown on the monitor beside the desk in the exam room as we explain them to you.

If you would like us to explain to your family (on the same day or at a later date), please do not hesitate to tell us.

Conditions that require surgery, and conditions that require more advanced testing or treatment:
Each condition requires a correct diagnosis, and our basic approach is to maintain a good condition without surgery whenever possible.
However, so that you do not miss the right time for a condition that needs it, we judge whether surgery is indicated and explain it to you.
In consultation with you and your family, and according to your wishes, treatment is carried out with the cooperation of partner medical institutions (we refer you directly to surgical specialists we know personally).

For first-time visitors to Takeru Eye Clinic:
To save time, we have prepared a first-visit questionnaire form/PDF.
Please use it if you wish.
