ueyama eye clinic

Ueyama Eye Clinic sits on the second floor of a Summit Store supermarket on Ojikuradori Street in Kita Ward — yes, above a grocery store, which actually makes it easy to find and convenient to combine with errands. It’s a standard neighborhood ophthalmology clinic covering the usual range: eye exams, glasses and contact lens prescriptions, dry eye, glaucoma screening, and general eye complaints.

The clinic has some English content on its website, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fluent English consultation waiting for you. Reality is probably closer to basic English at reception, some written materials available in English, and a doctor who may manage simple exchanges. Bring a translation app as backup and have your symptoms written out in Japanese if you can manage it.

For expats in Kita Ward who need routine eye care — prescription check, contact lens fitting, something irritating your eye — this is a solid local option. Not a specialist international clinic, but functional for everyday eye health needs.
