  • Our hospital's policy on patient harassment

    Nagoya Eye Clinic (hereinafter referred to as "our clinic") strives to provide the best medical services by treating patients and their families sincerely and in response to their trust and expectations. However, some patients and their families who receive treatment, or those related to them, make demands that go beyond the bounds of common sense, or engage in verbal or physical actions that deny the dignity of our staff, violence, sexual harassment, etc., which are serious problems that lead to a deterioration of the work environment and clinical environment (these verbal and physical actions of patients and their families are called "pay harassment"). Our clinic will not tolerate pay harassment, and will take a firm stance against these nuisances in order to respect and protect the human rights of not only our staff, but also other patients and their families.

What is cataract?

Human cataroma, which accounts for the majority of cataracts, is a type of aging phenomenon that occurs in everyone as we age, just like gray hair and wrinkles on the skin.The crystalline lens, which was originally transparent, becomes cloudy due to the accumulation of waste matter as we age.
This turbidity of the lens prevents light from entering the back of the eye, making it difficult to see.

It has the shape of a convex lens that bends and focuses light so that an image can be projected onto the retina.

The crystalline lens, which was transparent when young, becomes cloudy as waste products accumulate as we age.This clouding of the crystalline lens prevents light from entering the back of the eye, causing difficulty in seeing.

Self-check

Please contact Nagoya Eye Clinic as soon as possible.

[How to distinguish from presbyopia]
Cataractia does not mean that the eyes cannot focus, but rather causes the entire image to appear blurry. Try wearing a pair of glasses and see if your vision improves.

Designing the best way for each individual to see
Two-Step Method

POINT

The two-step method involves first performing surgery on one eye, experiencing the vision, and then adjusting the type and power of the lens for the other eye.
This allows for a more ideal balance when viewed with both eyes.

Benefit
● You can check how it actually looks before adjusting the other one.
● Aim for the "ideal appearance" that suits your lifestyle
Warnings
● Because the procedure is done one side at a time, it may take a little more time and require more visits to the hospital.
Suitable for
● Those who want to thoroughly consider the type of intraocular lens
● People who want to take their time and understand the process of cataract surgery
Not suitable for
● Those who have already decided on the type and power of their intraocular lens
● People who have limited time for surgery or hospital visits
● People who have a disease in one eye and have difficulty seeing
