President Message Yuko Wada

Greetings to all
I was immersed in medical examination, treatments and in the study of inherited retinal degeneration at the Department of ophthalmology of Tohoku University hospital. I opened the Yuko WADA Eye Clinic in Sendai city on April 3, 2007. The purpose of having my own eye clinic is to offer medical care (which I learned at Tohoku University and Harvard medical school) at the distance which suited my patients.

In addition to the ophthalmologic general practice and laser treatment, we have a special outpatient department for inherited retinal degeneration (retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, etc) which I studied for 12 years.

The special department was not only fully equipped with ophthalmic instruments for patients with inherited retinal degeneration but also introduced a near infrared radiation treatment. I will make an effort as hard as possible to elucidate the cause of retinal degeneration and develop the effective treatment for patients with inherited retinal degeneration.

 Another characteristic of my clinic is that it has a women's outpatient department on Tuesday morning. We also perform consultation for contact lens's and health screening for your eyes. All the staff have the philosophy "polite and gentle" and aim not only to provide medical care, but also to understand each patient.
