Haag-Streit offers “sneak preview” of the new METIS ophthalmic microscope system at AAO 2024

Haag-Streit is proud to introduce METIS, its cutting-edge ophthalmic microscope system.

Superior optical experience

The METIS microscope brings Haag-Streit’s renowned optics into the operating room, ensuring exceptional clarity and precision during ophthalmic surgeries. Featuring a brilliant coaxial red reflex, METIS delivers stable and bright visualization, even under low-light conditions, ideal for procedures like capsulorhexis and capsular polishing. The system's optimized optics guarantee accurate color reproduction, high light transmission, and a large depth of field.

Ergonomics and efficient control

Designed with the surgeon’s comfort in mind, METIS re-envisions outstanding ergonomics and efficiency through motorized tilt, intuitive controls, and a compact design that maximizes space and movement. Surgeons can easily control tilt, filter, focus, and zoom with hand or foot switches, with wireless control of up to 14 functions, streamlining procedures and improving comfort during long surgeries.

Glaucoma positioning

METIS offers complete control of glaucoma positioning, allowing surgeons to activate the motorized tilt at the touch of a button for effortless adjustment of the viewing angle. An innovative adaptation to the binoculars enables smooth, one-handed repositioning with a sterile cover, ensuring a streamlined and efficient workflow during MiGS procedures, without compromising on speed or safety.

High-resolution 4K visualization

The METIS features integrated 4K video, delivering superb color, clarity, and detail for all surgical procedures. The 27” touchscreen monitor is ergonomically positioned for optimal workflow, enabling real-time collaboration and easy documentation.

Future-proof and modular

The modular structure of METIS allows easy upgrades, such as 3D heads-up displays, providing flexibility for future needs. This adaptability ensures METIS remains a future-proof investment, allowing surgeons to evolve their setup as new advancements become available.

Extra benefits for surgical specialists

In addition, the METIS offers sustainable LED illumination, reducing heat and energy consumption while providing the most efficient light source available. Other features include an assistant microscope for collaborative learning, wide-angle fundus visualization for clear views, and the Microscope Imaging and Operation System (MIOS 6) with its simple-to-operate dashboard and intuitive menus.
