Content of treatment

  • Cornea Clinic
    As the global leader in the treatment of cornea-related diseases, we developed ocular-surface reconstruction surgery via cultured corneal or oral mucosal epithelial cell sheet transplantation and endothelial-cell infusion therapy for bullous keratopathy.
  • Dry Eye Clinic
    As the world leader in treating dry eye, we developed a non-invasive diagnosis method for dry eye and continually establish groundbreaking therapeutic modalities.
  • Glaucoma Clinic
    For the treatment of glaucoma, we constantly measure and assess the effectiveness of various drugs, and we developed the ‘surgical gonioscope’ and continually adopt the latest leading-edge surgical methods. We perform nearly 300 glaucoma surgeries per year.
  • Retina Clinic
    For treating retina-related diseases, we utilize non-invasive vitreous surgery aggressively. We perform numerous ‘day’ vitreous surgeries that are both safe and highly effective. In addition, we developed a non-invasive diagnosis method that includes fundus autofluorescence.

    Each year, we perform numerous LASIK, Epi-LASIK, and Phakic Intraocular Lens implantation surgeries for refractive error. For the treatment of strabismus, prism correction, surgery, and botulinum toxin injection are all performed with great effectiveness.
