Dr Tomoyuki Kashima
Dr. Tomoyuki Kashima graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at Gunma University in 2002 and completed his residency training in general ophthalmology at the same institution. From 2005 to 2007, he completed a fellowship in oculoplastic surgery at Seirei Hamamatsu General Hospital in Shizuoka.
In 2007, he returned to Gunma University, where he served as the head of oculoplastic and orbital surgery. From 2010 to 2018, he was a council member of the Asian Pacific Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (APSOPRS). He further advanced his training through an international fellowship at the UCLA Stein Eye Institute from 2015 to 2016.
After returning to Japan, he recognized the limitations of academic practice in delivering advanced oculoplastic care to a broader patient population. To provide cutting-edge treatment nationwide, he chose to pursue private practice rather than returning to academia, with a vision of building a national clinical network.
He currently operates a group of advanced, ambulatory oculoplastic surgery centers across six locations in Japan, including Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Fukuoka. His group performs over 10,000 oculoplastic procedures annually, including approximately 2,500 cases under general anesthesia. He is particularly recognized for performing around 250 orbital decompression surgeries per year, representing one of the highest volumes in Japan.
Dr. Kashima is also deeply committed to education, having trained more than 30 fellows to date. In 2026, he founded the Japanese Society of Ophthalmic Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, aiming to integrate functional and aesthetic approaches in oculoplastic care.
