Shakujiidai Eye Clinic
Shakujiidai Eye Clinic sits on the 4th floor of a small clinic mall in Nerima’s Shakujiidai neighborhood — residential, quiet, not a place most expats stumble into by accident. This is a dedicated ophthalmology practice under the Fortuna Medical corporation, handling the usual eye care range: glasses and contact prescriptions, dry eye, cataracts, glaucoma screening, and general checkups.
The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a better sign than nothing, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a full English-language consultation. Nerima isn’t Minato. This area skews Japanese-speaking, and the clinic reflects that. If your Japanese is functional or you can bring someone who speaks it, you’ll be fine. If you’re going alone with zero Japanese, come prepared with a translation app and written notes about your symptoms. The doctors appear competent and the setup is clean and modern. For expats already living in the Nerima/Shakujiidai area, this is a solid local option for eye care without trekking into central Tokyo.
Patient Feedback
Patient feedback points to a well-organized, efficient clinic — wait times seem reasonable for a local specialty practice. Doctors are described as thorough, particularly for contact lens fittings and routine eye exams. The clinic mall setting keeps things tidy and modern. It’s not a flashy urban clinic, but patients who live nearby seem to return regularly, which usually means something is going right. Nothing about it feels rushed or impersonal.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
