Haag-Streit USA announced the launch of the Elara 900 slit lamp and the Refractor 900 digital phoropter, which will both make their international debut at ESCRS 2025 this month in Copenhagen, Denmark, and their US debut at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, during October, the company said in a press release.
The Elara 900 slit lamp, Haag-Streit USA noted, is designed for superior visualization, streamlined workflow, and optimal comfort. With Haag-Streit’s optical quality and a projector-based “P-Type” light source, Elara 900 enhances visualization of fine ocular structures across a wide range of clinical scenarios.
With intelligent one-touch “presets,” clinicians can apply customized examination settings in a single motion. Motorized height and magnification controls allow fast, seamless adjustments, while an optional dual-camera setup enables immersive 3D* image and video capture in 4K for teaching and documentation.
According to Haag-Streit USA, inclined oculars, a spacious headrest, and ergonomically placed controls help reduce physical strain and support a more natural posture.
The Refractor 900 provides a reliable, fast, and accurate digital phoropter designed for high-quality refraction, the company said. Built with high-precision mechanics, it features ultra-fast lens changes, 1/8 diopter adjustments in sphere and cylinder, and real-time video imaging for accurate vertex distance measurement.
According to the company, the Refractor 900 supports customizable refraction sequences, allowing practitioners to move efficiently through exams while maintaining full control. Its transparent lens carrier and quiet motor help create a calmer exam environment, while the intuitive touchscreen interface and ergonomic button layout facilitate easy and user-friendly operation.
With secure EMR connectivity, multi-device compatibility, and direct control of vision testing tools like the Acuity Chart 900, the Refractor 900 simplifies data exchange and minimizes manual input, the company said in the press release.
