At Haag-Streit International, tradition means taking long-term views for trustworthy thinking and acting. This thinking permeates our culture, and is the key to our leadership longevity and broad-market success at developing, producing, and distributing the finest precision medical instruments, tools and equipment on the market. 

We combine artistry and the finest new technologies to create unique medical field products. We are continually researching, exchanging information, and listening to customers, experts and other scientists to refine our products. Our accuracy is calibrated within millionths-of-an-inch. This precision is artfully balanced against the comfort, sturdiness, and stylish appearance of our products.

 

Together, the three men began creating precision instruments to aide examination techniques for ophthalmologists. These instrument designs remain the basis for instruments in use today.

By 1965, Haag-Streit International recognized a need to establish an American market subsidiary, and opened the first US office in New Jersey. In the early 70s, we acquired a supplier to better secure the high quality optics required for the integral slit lamp design and other mass-produced products.

To this day, the slit lamp manufactured by Haag-Streit International is considered the finest in the world.
