Kobashi Online Eye Clinic is based in Machida, Tokyo. Talk to a board-certified ophthalmologist before you visit — about ICL, cataract, multifocal lenses and presbyopia, children's myopia control, and glaucoma (including surgery).
Booking, questionnaire, video consultation and payment are handled through "curon".
Ask before you decide
Whether you are weighing up surgery or simply want a second opinion, you can speak with an ophthalmologist from home — without a clinic visit for the first step.
From your phone
Booking, questionnaire, video consultation and payment all happen on your smartphone.
A specialist ophthalmologist
A board-certified ophthalmologist hears your history and explains the options clearly.
Advanced treatments
ICL, multifocal IOLs, myopia control for children and glaucoma surgery — all can be discussed.
What you can consult about online
These are topics for an online consultation. If tests or surgery require an in-person visit, we will guide you through the next steps during the consultation.
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens)
An option for higher myopia and astigmatism. We explain candidacy and how it compares with glasses, contacts and LASIK.
Cataract
For blurred vision or glare. Discuss timing of surgery, the process, and the effect on daily life.
Multifocal IOL & presbyopia
For difficulty with near and distance vision. We cover the differences between monofocal and multifocal lenses and their cost.
Myopia control for children
Low-dose atropine, orthokeratology and other approaches — the thinking behind them and when to start.
Glaucoma (including surgery)
Reviewing eye-drop therapy, or considering laser or surgery. We hear your history and explain the next options.
Not sure which applies?
Tell us your symptoms. We will listen online and guide you to the right tests and visit flow.
Start a consultation
ICL and multifocal IOLs are provided as self-pay (non-insured) care. Results vary between individuals, and changes in vision, infection or other complications may occur. Candidacy, standard costs and risks are explained in detail during the consultation.
