Pia Lohri from Lucerne Cantonal Hospital in Switzerland was named the winner of Haag-Streit’s annual Slit Lamp Imaging Competition 2023.
Lohri’s image was taken on a BX 900 slit lamp and displayed a patient with a dislocated intraocular lens, which judges noted for its overall execution.
Haag-Streit juror Frank Wenger, said: ‘On behalf of Haag-Streit, we are proud to discover that once again, the very best images were captured by our BX 900 slit lamp. Congratulations to all our entrants. We are inspired by your passion for this competition.’
The competition was held for the fourth year and attracted over 350 submissions from 18 countries worldwide, which was the most it had so far.
Yang Zhang from Beijing Tongren Hospital in China was the runner-up position for his image of the exudative membrane connecting the anterior capsule to the cornea.
Katie Lachut-Yevich from VCU Health System in the US achieved third place for her image, which displayed a Morgagnian cataract and impressed the jury with its artistry.
