At the Congress of the Romanian Glaucoma Society, Prof. Dr. Gábor Holló highlights the “Octopus Clinical Compendium” – a resource bringing together decades of clinical experience with Octopus perimetry. This curated publication compiles 56 peer-reviewed studies into one structured, practical reference for clinicians, researchers, and educators.

Developed under Prof. Holló’s expert supervision, it consolidates global research and supports evidence-based decision-making across key areas such as early detection, progression analysis, and structure–function relationships.

Connecting with the next generation of talent.

On March 27, we took part in the “Lehrstellenbörse Bern 2026” – a regional apprenticeship fair where companies connect with students who are exploring their future career paths. This year, around 1,500 students visited the event, most of them at a pivotal moment in deciding what to do after school.

Representing us were two apprentices from our Swiss headquarters: Yanik Moser, in his fourth year as a polymechanic, and Alessandro Mägli-Barbosa, in his third year as an IT specialist. They answered questions, shared their own experiences, and gave students a real, firsthand look at what it means to train at Haag-Streit.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth and engaged with us and a big thank you to Yanik and Alessandro for being such great ambassadors!

A special moment to share from Japan!

Dr. Kenichiro Yamazaki at Omiya Nanasato Eye Institute has performed his first multifocal cataract surgeries following the delivery of the METIS 900 microscope.

It’s always meaningful to see new technology enter clinical practice, but even more so when it supports skilled teams doing what they do best. With its brilliant red reflex, depth of field, and proper ergonomics, METIS 900 is designed to fit naturally into the surgical workflow.

We’re pleased to share a few moments from these initial surgeries and to see the beginning of METIS 900’s journey in Japan.

What stands out in daily surgical practice? During the Congress of the Romanian Glaucoma Society, Dr. Tomas Engels shares his experience using the METIS 900 microscope for cataract surgery and minimally invasive glaucoma procedures.

For him, it comes down to control and clarity: a stable red reflex, excellent coaxial visualization, and features designed with the glaucoma surgeon in mind, such as the METIS 900’s effortless motorized tilt and one-handed repositioning.

Curious about “heads-up” surgery?

This new article condenses features, benefits, and real-life surgeons’ experiences into one compelling read.

Key topics include:
• How does shifting the surgical field onto a large 3D screen improve surgical performance?
• Why is digital heads-up surgery so important for the modern ophthalmic workflow?
• What are the benefits of a flexible configuration that offers digital & ocular viewing modes?
• How does going “heads-up” improve ergonomics in the OR while enhancing patient comfort?
• What can we learn from surgeons’ recent experiences of switching to heads-up surgery?

Last week, we hosted a 5-day Diagnostics Service Training at our headquarters in Köniz, Switzerland.

We welcomed a highly engaged group from Burkina Faso, the Netherlands, the USA, Austria, Switzerland, Mali, and Costa Rica.

Thanks to pre-training materials, participants arrived well prepared. This allowed us to focus on hands-on sessions from day one, ensuring our partners are ready to support, maintain, and troubleshoot our diagnostic products in the field.

For the first time, the Elara 900 and Refractor 900 were part of the program, helping build confidence with our latest solutions.

A social evening also gave us the opportunity to exchange real-world experiences and better understand the challenges technicians face.

Thank you to everyone who made this week both productive and enjoyable!
