Slit Lamp Imaging Competition 2023

And the winners are…

As the global leader in the manufacturer of slit lamp imaging solutions, Haag-Streit is delighted to announce the winners of the 'Slit Lamp Imaging Competition 2023.'

Our jury painstakingly searched through over 300 images submitted from around the world to find their winner, which for 2023 is Pia Emilia Lohri from Lucerne Cantonal Hospital, Switzerland. Her winning image, like all our winning entries, was taken with the Haag-Streit BX 900 Imaging System. The stunning shot scored highly on all three winning criteria: image quality, technical execution, and disease interest, and was praised by our jury for its “simply perfect” execution.

First place

Pia Emilia Lohri, Lucerne Cantonal Hospital, Switzerland.

Pia's image, of a dislocated intraocular lens, was praised for its "perfect" execution. Pia wins a top-of-the-range Nikon Z 6 II + NIKKOR lenses and will have her work published in a leading ophthalmic journal.

Second place

Yang Zhang, Beijing Tongren Hospital, China 

Yang's stunning image shows the exudative membrane connecting the anterior capsule to the cornea. Yang wins an Apple Watch Ultra for his great work.

Third place

Katie Lachut-Yevich, VCU Health System, USA

Katie's amazing shot shows a Morgagnian cataract. Katie takes the prize of a stylish Ona Brixton leather camera bag for her efforts.
