Haag-Streit launches the METIS 900
Following highly successful “sneak preview” appearances at last year’s ESCRS, AAO, and EPOMEC congresses, we’re delighted to officially launch METIS: our surgical control center. Combining over a century of optical excellence with efficient workflow & proper ergonomics, the sleek new METIS ophthalmic microscope system boasts a wealth of comprehensive features to provide surgeons with control over their procedures, their health, and their investment.
Superior optical experience
The METIS microscope brings Haag-Streit’s legendary optics into the operating room, ensuring exceptional clarity and precision during ophthalmic surgeries. Featuring a stable coaxial red reflex, METIS delivers brilliant visualization. The system's optimized optics guarantee an accurate color reproduction, high light transmission, and a large depth of field.
Ergonomics & efficient control
Designed with the surgeon’s comfort in mind, METIS re-envisions outstanding ergonomics. Through intuitive features, surgeons have complete control of the microscope, along with a compact design that maximizes space and movement. With the emphasis on efficient workflow, surgeons can filter, tilt, focus, and zoom via the programmable hand and/or foot switches and benefit from wireless control of up to 14 functions – bringing greater productivity to surgical routines.
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 offers optional 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.
Adaptable & future-proof
The modular structure of METIS allows surgeons to evolve their setup as new advancements become available – such as 3D heads-up displays – launching Q2 2025 to the US market.
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 interactive menus.

Mike Luley, Director of Global Strategy and Business Development, Visualization at Haag-Streit, said: “We are thrilled to officially launch the METIS. Since its introduction to the market, this innovative microscope has been subjected to rigorous review by a diverse group of surgeons worldwide.”
He continued, “It has been truly rewarding to see how so many people have worked together to create the value that METIS provides for surgeons when caring for their patients.
