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.

[Dr. Mizuno] EDOF soft contact lenses that prevent myopia progression

Orthokeratology and low-concentration atropine eye drops have become well-known as treatments that are effective in slowing the progression of myopia in children.
In recent years, in addition to these treatments, it has been discovered that EDOF (extended depth of focus) soft contact lenses are highly effective in preventing the progression of myopia. EDOF soft contacts are designed to have a lens power that focuses continuously from distance to intermediate to near. This is thought to be because it makes it less likely that the focus will shift behind the retina during near work, causing the eye axis to elongate and myopia to progress.

I have a daughter who is in her first year of high school and a son who is in her sixth year of elementary school. Recently, my son's nearsightedness has been progressing (currently -4D), and although he has glasses, he doesn't seem to want to wear them. I've been using it with my naked eyes, but I've reached my limit now that I can barely see, so I decided to try orthokeratology or EDOF contacts.When I suggested this, she said she wanted to try soft contact, so I tried it the other day.Thanks to our kind and dedicated staff, I was able to put it on and take it off by myself within the same day, even though I was scared at first.Since they are soft contacts, they are comfortable to wear, and the clear vision allows you to see a different world.

Orthokeratology is not applicable for moderate or higher myopia (over -6D), but EDOF soft contacts can treat even severe myopia (up to -12D).Also, although there is a cost for lenses, treatment is possible through insurance medical treatment.Please feel free to contact us if you have any requests.
