Introduction of the medical department

The Department of Ophthalmology is a department that researches and treats diseases related to the eyes. It is staffed by five specialized professors, residents, and nurses in the specialized areas of the external eye department, retina/uvea department, cataract department, oculoplastics department, glaucoma department, and strabismus/neuro-ophthalmology department. We are doing our best to ensure the health of our patients' eyes through accurate and quick diagnosis and treatment using cutting-edge medical equipment.

• External Eye - We diagnose and treat diseases such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, dry eye, corneal clouding, and keratoconus, and strive to restore vision through corneal transplantation.
• Retina/Uvea - We diagnose and treat diseases such as various retinopathy including diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, uveitis, and vitreous hemorrhage.
• Cataract - We accurately diagnose various types of cataracts and perform surgery and management.
• Glaucoma - We diagnose and treat raised intraocular pressure associated with closed-angle glaucoma, open-angle glaucoma, or other eye diseases.
• Strabismus/Neuro-ophthalmology - We diagnose and treat exotropia, esotropia, vertical or paralytic strabismus, cranial nerve abnormalities related to eye movement, inflammation or damage to the optic nerve, and visual field disorders.
• Oculoplastics - We diagnose and treat inflammation or tumors of the eyelids, abnormal positions, diseases that prick the eyebrows, blocked nasolacrimal ducts, and inflammation or tumors of the orbit.
