"Enhancing the Quality of Clinical Practice and Pursuing Well-being"
Our Value: To provide high-quality medical care with a compassionate heart.
Since its establishment, the Department of Ophthalmology at Fukuoka University School of Medicine has been dedicated to improving patients' quality of life through the practice of ophthalmic medicine and contributing to the enhancement of community healthcare centered on safety and peace of mind. Moving forward, we will continue to sincerely engage with our patients and strive to improve the quality of our clinical practice, thereby advancing the realization of the "warm-hearted medicine" that Fukuoka University aspires to provide.
Expanding the Realm of “Clinical Excellence at Fukuoka University”
In addition to the wide-ranging fields we have addressed thus far—such as pediatric eye diseases, retinal disorders, glaucoma, and ocular allergies—we will further pursue expertise in anterior segment care, focusing on corneal transplantation and dry eye treatment. While maintaining our leadership role in medical care as a university hospital, we aim to build a robust network with community healthcare providers and contribute to comprehensive healthcare management for our patients.
Providing Safe and Secure Medical Care Based on the Latest Evidence
In this era of rapidly advancing medical technology, we remain committed to continually updating our knowledge and offering care that considers each patient's values and lifestyle. Under a framework of strict quality control emphasizing patient safety, we prioritize building trust through strong communication between medical professionals and patients, ensuring the best possible treatment choices.
Contributing to Society Through the Development of Excellent Clinicians
At Fukuoka University, we define an “excellent clinician” as a physician who makes every effort to provide the best possible care based on their expertise and who contributes to the advancement of ophthalmology. As clinicians, who engage closely with patients, reflect critically on their daily practice and strive to offer optimal care, we, as a department, unite in education, research, and the social implementation of research outcomes to promote the well-being of all individuals involved in healthcare.
