  • 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.

ICL (intraocular contact lens) surgery

Nagoya eye clinic
ICL (intraocular contact lens) surgery

ICL (intraocular contact lens) surgery is a treatment that corrects vision by inserting a lens into the eye. It is widely applicable to people with severe myopia and astigmatism, and is a safe treatment that can be restored by removing the lens. If you develop cataracts in the future, you can undergo cataract surgery as usual.
At Nagoya Eye Clinic, we provide thorough counseling and a thorough suitability test, and we have an ICL expert instructor to ensure a safe surgical procedure.®Through our patient-oriented service, which we call "Patient Support," we strive to create an environment where patients can undergo treatment with peace of mind, from before to after surgery.

Premium surgery,
For the Premium You

Since ICL is not covered by insurance but is a self-paid procedure, the cost of surgery varies from facility to facility. Our clinic has kept the price the same since 2015, but some price-conscious clinics are offering lower prices, so the price may appear relatively high.
In fact, the average cost of surgery for both eyes in North America, Europe, South Korea, and China is about 80 to 100 yen. In comparison, Japan still has a strong sense of deflation, and medical costs seem to be kept low.
However, providing high-quality treatment requires a reasonable amount of money. Unreasonable cost reductions entail the risk of compromising medical safety. As past cases of LASIK infections have shown, it is essential to maintain an appropriate environment, equipment, and sufficient technology.

At our hospital, we treat patients who understand the overall value of not only the cost of surgery, but also the quality and safety of the medical care we provide, the comprehensiveness of our aftercare, etc. With regard to ICL surgery, our policy is to provide the best treatment only to patients who can appreciate that value.
We will continue to provide premium surgeries backed by the advanced techniques of our expert instructors to our premium customers. We will continue to pursue technical excellence in surgery, while striving to maintain an environment where patients can receive surgery with peace of mind, and aim to provide the best results to our patients.

Comfort ICL®

At Nagoya Eye Clinic, under the concept of "Comfort ICL (trademark registered)," we not only ensure the safety of the surgery, but also combine high-quality hospitality and provide attentive care to each individual patient so that patients can undergo the once-in-a-lifetime important ICL surgery with peace of mind. The cost of "Comfort ICL" includes preoperative examinations, ICL surgery, lens fees, prescription drug fees, and regular checkups for one year after surgery, with no additional costs.

ICL Expert Instructor

Our hospital's Chairman Nakamura and Director Kojima are certified as expert instructors by STAR Surgical, and serve as instructors for surgical procedures and seminars for certified surgeons. This qualification requires knowledge, leadership skills, and a high sense of ethics, and is held by only 12 ophthalmologists in Japan.

ICL Certified Doctor System

STAAR Surgical's ICL certified doctors are ophthalmologists who have undergone rigorous training and met multiple established standards. This site provides detailed information about the process of becoming an ICL certified doctor, the ICL Research Society, and ophthalmologists.

Eyewear that will last a long time, even after ICL surgery

As part of our sustainable efforts, Nagoya Eye Clinic has changed the protective glasses provided to patients after surgery to Ray-Ban sunglasses.
Conventional protective glasses are no longer useful about a week after surgery, and many of them are disposed of unused.
We use Ray-Ban lenses, a globally trusted brand, because we care about resources. They can be used for long-term everyday use, including driving and outdoor activities, as well as for post-operative UV protection.
Director Kojima appeared on a news program about "eye sunburn" caused by ultraviolet rays.

Taxi home service
We provide a taxi service for patients who wish to return home after surgery (up to a maximum of 5,000 yen).

Low-concentration nitrous oxide anesthesia

During surgery, a slightly sweet-smelling gas and oxygen is pumped through the nose to gently relieve anxiety and tension, helping to create a relaxed state. This allows patients to remain conscious and remain calm during surgery, reducing the mental burden on them. In addition, healing music played in the operating room also helps patients relax.

shampoo service

Until the checkup on the third day after surgery, we ask that you refrain from washing your own hair to prevent bacteria from getting into your eyes. In response to feedback from patients who have expressed distress over not being able to wash their hair, especially in the summer, we have installed a full-fledged automatic hair washing machine, the kind used in beauty salons. This allows you to wash your hair safely even after surgery, ensuring a comfortable post-operative experience.
(※Not available on Sundays and public holidays.)

recovery room

After surgery, you can relax in a semi-private recovery room. We have designed the room so that you can relax in a reclining chair in a calm and quiet environment.

Aromas carefully selected by staff

We burn aromatherapy to reduce patients' anxiety about surgery. The soft aroma eases tension in the mind and body, promoting relaxation. This allows patients to approach surgery calmly.

After follow

At Nagoya Eye Clinic, we believe that our true relationship with our patients begins after surgery. As your family eye doctor, we will provide lifelong support to ensure that you never have to worry about your eyesight.

How about it? Call
On the day of surgery, everyone can become very anxious over small things. After surgery, your doctor will call you at home or on your mobile phone to check in on how you are doing.
Lens replacement
If medically necessary to replace the lenses after surgery, we will handle it responsibly at our hospital, but as it involves the risk of complications, it is not something to be done lightly. To prevent the need for lens replacement, we conduct thorough preoperative examinations and cypressin tests.
Наказания
If your astigmatism or myopia progresses after surgery, we can safely fine-tune it using LASIK.
(Free service for 3 years)

* Only when a doctor determines it is necessary for treatment.

ICL removal during cataract surgery
