«As a trainee ophthalmologist, not only do you have to acquire a new vocabulary, you also enter a magnified world in which your eyes, hands and brain must function for hours per day for the rest of your working life. The slit lamp becomes your optical extension. In Australia, one of the new terms is often Haag-Streit. The high quality optics and elegance and simplicity of function of the Haag-Streit slit lamp make ocular observation a pleasure. Like flying in the pointy end of an aeroplane, it is difficult to ever go back or to use a device with lesser optics or exquisiteness of movement. And in Australia, the land down-under, the images are not upside down! Congratulations on your 150th anniversary.»
Minas Coroneo, Professor and Chairman, Deparment of Ophthalmology, University of New South Wales, at Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney, Australia

«When we needed a slit lamp and imaging system to photograph the subtle solution-induced micropunctuate staining, Haag-Streit was the overwhelming recommendation. The optics are crystal clear.» Gary Andrasko, OD, MS, Columbus, Ohio, USA

«Slitlamp biomicroscopy is one of the most important inventions in ophthalmology. Allvar Gullstrand was honored with a Nobel Prize. Haag-Streit has translated this invention into a truly world class instrument and maintained its quality for almost a century. I honor Gullstrand every time I use his invention.» Prof. Taraprasad Das, Medical Director of the Bhubaneshwar Eye Institute, India
«Just short of 20 years ago, when founding Minnesota Eye Consultants, I purchased five Haag-Streit slit lamps for my first office. Amazingly, they are still in use today with great resolution and zero maintenance other than cleaning and changing bulbs. We now have 12 offices, 22 doctors and over 50 Haags. Thank you for your outstanding quality, value and service.» Richard L. Lindstrom, MD, Founder and Partner: Minnesota Eye Consultants. Adjunct Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota Department of Ophthalmology, USA
«After having used several different suppliers’ slit lamps, I deeply realize Haag-Streit is the best one without rival. With excellent optics, the Haag-Streit slit lamp is undoubtedly the ophthalmologist’s best partner.» Compliments to Haag-Streit on its 150th anniversary from Dr. Chang-Wen Chen, Superintendent, Chin-Ming Eye Hospital, Tainan, Taiwan, Republic of China
«The Haag-Streit brand is well-known and highly-respected throughout the world. When you see the HS logo on an ophthalmic instrument, you immediately know three things: (1) it has innovative technology, (2) it was manufactured with great precision, and (3) it will perform reliably for many, many years. Congratulations on your 150th anniversary!» Robert D. Newcomb, OD, MPH, FAAO, Professor of Clinical Optometry, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA
«HAAG-STREIT SLIT LAMP: A tireless workmate during a whole life devoted to the study and treatment of eye disorders, the Haag-Streit slit lamp has always been my faithful working companion. If I had to describe an ophthalmic instrument as being indispensable, it would be this slit lamp. After more than 60 years of dedication to ophthalmology, I have established a truly symbiotic relationship between my eyes, my hands and the slit lamp. Since the beginning, I was attracted by its ease of use, versatility and simplicity and, above all, its excellent optical quality. From the models I had the privilege to use for the first time in my young days to the most modern ones I am presently using, I have witnessed remarkable improvements, always with the idea of providing an easy to use, ergonomic and long-lasting instrument with an outstanding optical quality to the ophthalmologists. Today, from the most basic models to the complex slit lamps with automated systems and digital photography, we will always find the traditional concepts, which Haag-Streit wanted to convey to its instruments: ease of use and excellent ophthalmic exploration. The Haag-Streit slit lamp has been the window from which I have been able to see the eyes of my patients in order to explore them and to offer the most adequate treatment. This window has always stood open with crystalline crispness and transparency. And I hope that this window to the exciting world of ophthalmology may help all my ophthalmologist colleagues too, as it has helped and is still helping me.» Prof. Joaquín Barraquer Moner, Director, Barraquer Center of Ophthalmology, Barcelona, Spain
