Hello! I’m Poi Sensei, a board-certified ophthalmologist from Japan, specializing in neuro-ophthalmology, corneal infection, uveitis, and ocular optics.
I created this platform to help young ophthalmologists, optometrists, orthoptists, and eye care professionals better understand topics that are often considered “difficult”—like visual field interpretation, neuro-ophthalmology, and strabismus.
With years of experience in clinical practice, teaching, and writing, my mission is clear:
- 🧠 Turn complexity into clarity.
- 🎓 Bridge the gap between theory and practice.
- ✍️ Deliver knowledge in a way that sticks.
📘 What I Do
- Medical Education: I teach students preparing for Japan’s national medical exams and ophthalmology board certification.
- Seminars & Lectures: I organize online seminars that attract hundreds of participants, with a focus on making complex topics digestible.
- English Expansion: I’m now translating my educational content into English to share ophthalmology knowledge with a global audience.

💡 Why “Poi Sensei”?

In Japan, I’m known for explaining hard things in a simple way—and I’m now bringing that same spirit to the international stage.
Whether you’re a trainee struggling with neuro-ophthalmology, or a practitioner looking for new ways to teach and learn, I hope this site gives you something useful—and maybe even enjoyable.
