title: [A combination of clinical medicine and social welfare activities of the Ophthalmic Rehabilitation Clinic at Juntendo University].
abstract: I intend to analyze in this paper tha activities of the Ophthalmic Rehabilitation Clinic at Juntendo University in order to clarify how social welfare is incorporated with medical care in rehabilitation. The patients who feel little hope of recovery often suffer a great sense of emptiness until they finally manage to rehabilitate themselves in society. The clinic was founded for them in 1964 inside the Department of Ophthalmology, Juntendo University. The Department has been providing consultation with the visually handicapped. The program consists of counseling, educational guidance, daily training, etc. It is quite remarkable that the rehabilitation program, in addition to the medical examination, has been introduced to the outpatients who have visual handicaps.
