HASA OPTIX

What HASA OPTIX does

HASA OPTIX SRL is a Belgian medical device company founded in 2016 (with origins in 2013 research by a Dutch eye surgeon and an English engineer) and headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes premium-quality, single-use, fully recyclable ophthalmic surgical instruments made from 100% stainless steel with no plastic inserts, packaged in recyclable Tyvek® HDPE plastic. Its product portfolio spans over 600 instruments across 18 core categories (forceps, needle holders, manipulators, choppers, spatulas, scissors, speculums, probes, calipers, curettes, retractors, hooks, dilators, markers, depressors, gauges, micro instruments, and miscellaneous tools) and 11 surgery-specific catalogues covering cataract, refractive (LASIK, LASEK/PRK, ICL, ReLEx), vitreoretinal, glaucoma, cornea, and oculoplastic procedures. Instruments are available individually or in customizable pre-packed sets designed for specific surgery types, with double-ended designs aimed at reducing instrument-switching during procedures.

HASA OPTIX sells exclusively through a global network of 25+ distributors covering 35+ countries across Europe, the United States, the Middle East, Asia (Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea), and Oceania (Australia, New Zealand), anchored by Rayner as a major multi-region distributor. The company does not sell direct to end customers and generates revenue from one-time unit sales of instruments (sold in boxes of 10) and pre-packed sets, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Its customer base comprises ophthalmic surgeons and the hospitals and clinics where they practice, with named KOL endorsements from surgeons at NYU/OCLI Vision, NHS Foundation Trust, Hôpital Fondation Rothschild (Paris), University of Munich Clinic, and CHIREC/Focus Eye Clinic (Brussels).

HASA OPTIX has secured CE marking (2019), FDA approval, ISO 13485 certification, and most recently MDSAP certification (2025), and holds B Corp certification. It operates the #HASARecycle closed-loop recycling program in partnership with Renewi (waste collection logistics) and Greencycl (recycling processing), and partners with CLIMACT for environmental performance assessment and MTS – the wetlab company GmbH for global surgical training. The company is privately held and founder-owned, with no disclosed external funding, employs 7 people in Belgium, and operates with a lean team supported by its global distributor network.
