Haag-Streit USA and Marco Lombart Launch Octopus 910 at AAO 2026

Haag-Streit USA, a prominent player in the ophthalmic device market, partnered with Marco Lombart, an Advancing Eyecare company, to introduce the Octopus 910 to U.S. audiences at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) 2026. Taking place from October 10 to 12, 2026, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, this event marks a significant milestone in modern visual field testing.

The Octopus 910 is designed to elevate glaucoma management, offering a vast toolbox of features for assessing visual fields comprehensively. Some standout attributes include Cluster Analysis, Stimulus V testing, and Polar Analysis, which cater to various stages of the disease. Eye care professionals can now integrate Hyberopia Visual Field Assessment results directly into the Octopus platform, enabling seamless monitoring of patient progression.

Smart Automation Enhances Efficiency

Aimed at optimizing the testing process, the Octopus 910 integrates several intelligent automation features that not only improve patient comfort but also enhance the reliability of results. With a motorized trial lens holder and automated patient positioning, this device minimizes human error while streamlining the patient experience. Additionally, a simplified chin and forehead rest ensures ergonomic comfort, while the built-in occluder assists in creating a controlled testing environment.

The device’s smart guidance capabilities are tailored for both patients and examiners. Using voice instructions, status lights, and active eye tracking, the Octopus 910 effectively reduces setup errors and improves the consistency of test outcomes. This automation allows practitioners to focus on patient care rather than manual adjustments, ultimately yielding more reproducible results.
