Superior Optical Experience
Bringing Haag-Streit’s renowned optics into the operating room, the METIS microscope ensures 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 vast depth of field, enhancing surgical precision and patient outcomes.
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, featuring wireless control of up to 14 functions. This streamlines procedures and improves comfort during long surgeries, reducing fatigue and enhancing workflow efficiency.
Glaucoma Positioning
METIS offers complete control of glaucoma positioning, allowing surgeons to activate the motorized tilt at the touch of a button for effortless viewing angle adjustment.
