Greeting
Dr. Akahoshi devised the “Phaco Prechop Method,” a new surgical procedure for cataract surgery based on a motto of “providing the best eyesight through surgical procedures with the latest surgical equipment and best technologies.” On the side of performing 9,000 surgical operations on an annual basis with this surgical procedure recognized by the world, Dr. Akahoshi continues to educate people regarding this surgical procedure by accepting invitations from ophthalmological societies all over the world.
Currently, Dr. Akahoshi gives lectures and provides public viewings of surgeries in 66 countries and has been awarded the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery’s highest award in the category of “new surgical procedures” in 1994 and 1996.

Dr. Akahoshi concurrently held a position at the Department of Ophthalmology at Fudan University (formerly Shanghai Medical University) and the Department of Ophthalmology at Harbin Medical University as a guest professor.
