Outpatient Information
Outpatient Clinic Schedule
Please note the following for your first visit
- Call (or E-mail) the eye clinic to make an appointment.
- Hospital Reception and Accounting is located on the 1st floor. Please arrive early to allow time to complete the paperwork. Show your Japanese insurance card if applicable. After receiving your patient number and file, proceed to the Eye Clinic located on the 3rd floor, and check-in with the receptionist.
- Please bring the following:
・All eye medicines you are currently using
・Medication list (any type)
・Eyeglasses (even if they are broken or you rarely use them)
・If you wear contact lenses, bring backup eyeglasses in case the doctor recommends against contact lens use
after the examination.
・Sunglasses in the event your eyes are dilated. - Examination for cataract surgery: After the initial eye examination and consultation, a physical examination is necessary that includes blood collection, urine test, electrocardiogram and chest X-ray.
- Examination for refractive surgery: Contact lenses alter the shape of the cornea. In case a person uses contact lenses, he or she should stop using them for a few days before the examination and surgery. For the soft contact lens type, one should not wear them for two days prior to the examination (and refractive surgery). For the hard contact lens type, one should not wear them for five days prior to the examination (and refractive surgery). It takes about three hours for the initial eye examination and consultation. After that, a sample of your blood is taken.
- Dilation: If you feel any visual disturbance, blurred vision or floaters, or if you have hypertension or diabetic mellitus, you should have an annual dilated eye examination in which eye drops are used to dilate the pupil. Most patients require about an hour for the examination, which will include a thorough fundoscopy. After this exam, the pupil will remain dilated for 3~6 hours. Driving with dilated eyes is very dangerous, so please visit the hospital by public transportation.
