Slit Lamp Imaging Competition 2024

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 2024.”

Our jury painstakingly searched through hundreds of submissions from 23 countries to find their winners of the imaging and video categories. All entries were scored against the same criteria: image quality, technical execution, and disease interest. Once again, it was heartening to see that many winning entries were taken with the Haag-Streit BX 900 slit lamp – also known as “The photographer’s slit lamp.’”
