■ Introduction
In 2006, I visited Nepal for the first time to participate in an eye camp through the Association for Ophthalmic Cooperation in Asia (AOCA). During that visit, I had the opportunity to observe surgeries at Kedia Eye Hospital and was deeply impressed by Dr. Akura's work and the activities being carried out in Nepal. This experience inspired me to pursue a career in cataract surgery.

■ Achievements in Japan
Until 2019, I served as the deputy director at Inoue Eye Hospital, the largest and oldest private eye hospital in Japan (established in 1881). Simultaneously, as a director of the Japanese Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (JSCRS), I specialized in performing cataract surgeries and focused on surgical education, particularly at academic conferences. Currently, I live-stream all my surgeries online for trainee doctors across Japan. Additionally, I manage a closed SNS (chat group) with around 400 Japanese ophthalmology trainees, where I provide continuous surgical education.
■ Activities in Nepal
I participated in eye camps in Nepal in 2006 (Bhojpur) and 2008 (Salyan). After 17 years, starting in March 2025, I plan to launch a cataract surgery training program for Japanese ophthalmologists at Kedia Eye Hospital in collaboration with NNJS. Furthermore, I aim to strengthen the relationship between Nepal and Kedia Eye Hospital and support Nepalese ophthalmologists in training opportunities in Japan.
