SUZUKI Eye Clinic

SUZUKI Eye Clinic sits in Shimura, Itabashi — a quiet residential part of northwest Tokyo that most expats don’t end up in unless they live nearby. It’s a neighborhood ophthalmology clinic, not a big hospital eye department, which means shorter waits and a more personal feel. They handle the standard eye care workload: vision checks, glasses and contact lens prescriptions, dry eye, cataracts, glaucoma screening, and general eye complaints.

The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign — at minimum, someone there thought about international patients. That said, full English-language service isn’t confirmed. If your Japanese is limited, bring a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend for anything beyond a basic check-up. For straightforward visits like a contact lens renewal or a red-eye that won’t quit, you’ll likely manage. For complex diagnoses or surgery consultations, get backup.

Located on the first floor of Sabrina House — easy street-level access, no elevator hunting required.
