Haag-Streit USA and Marco Lombart launch Octopus 910 in the US at AAO 2026 in New Orleans
MASON, Ohio, Oct. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Haag-Streit USA and Marco Lombart, an Advancing Eyecare company and the exclusive U.S. distributor of Haag-Streit’s Octopus perimetry range, today announce the U.S. launch of the Octopus 910. The full-field projection perimeter will make its U.S. debut at AAO 2026, taking place from October 10 to 12, 2026, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Octopus 910, see it first at AAO 2026
Visitors to Haag-Streit booth 707 or Advancing Eyecare booth 3319, can experience the Octopus 910 firsthand and discover how Haag-Streit’s full-field projection perimeter combines trusted visual field testing with smart automation for reliable, efficient, and patient-focused examinations.
Advanced glaucoma management
Designed for glaucoma management from onset to end-stage, the Octopus 910 offers a comprehensive toolkit for modern visual field assessment. Cluster Analysis, Stimulus V testing, and Polar Analysis support assessment across disease stages and enable structure-function comparison. Practices can also import HFA visual field data and follow progression within a single platform.
Enhanced efficiency
The Octopus 910 streamlines examination setup with intelligent automation features, including a motorized trial lens holder, automated patient positioning, a simplified single chin and forehead rest, and an integrated occluder. These features reduce manual steps, minimize potential errors, and improve patient comfort by supporting more precise, hygienic, and efficient examinations.
Improved reliability
Because visual field testing depends on patient cooperation and careful setup, the Octopus 910 guides both the patient and examiner throughout the exam. Smart voice guidance, status-light alerts, active eye tracking, and Autovertex help reduce setup-related errors, limit examiner dependence, and support more consistent, reproducible results.
“We are excited to bring the Octopus 910 to the U.S. market together with Advancing Eyecare. It is an important addition to our Octopus perimetry portfolio, combining comprehensive glaucoma management with smart examination support that helps clinicians reduce variability and streamline visual field testing.” — Andrew Jones, VP Sales and Marketing, Haag-Streit USA
“We’re excited to introduce the Octopus 910 to eye care professionals across the U.S. It brings together the advanced clinical capabilities practices expect with smart automation that can make visual field testing more efficient, consistent, and comfortable for patients. Our team looks forward to helping customers confidently integrate this innovative technology into their practices through the expertise, training, and service support of Marco Lombart.” — Jocelyn Hamilton, President, U.S. Sales, Advancing Eyecare
Introducing Octopus 910 to the U.S. market
Marco Lombart will support the U.S. launch through its nationwide expertise, training, and service network. As the exclusive U.S. distributor for Haag-Streit’s Octopus perimetry range, the Advancing Eyecare company will help make Octopus 910 available to eye care professionals nationwide.
