Description
Haag-Streit BD 900 Slit Lamp with AT 900 Tonometer — Used Anterior Segment Workstation
The Haag-Streit BD 900 slit lamp is a full-featured clinical biomicroscope from Haag-Streit — one of the most trusted names in ophthalmic instrument manufacturing — delivering reliable anterior segment illumination and magnification for corneal, lens, and anterior chamber examination in daily ophthalmic practice. This used Haag-Streit BD 900 slit lamp is paired with the AT 900 Goldmann applanation tonometer, combining biomicroscopy and the clinical gold standard for IOP measurement in a single complete workstation. For practices seeking Haag-Streit optical quality at an accessible price, the Haag-Streit BD 900 slit lamp with AT 900 delivers the essential anterior segment capability at used pricing with a 90-day warranty.
Clinical evidence published by the National Library of Medicine confirms that Goldmann applanation tonometry at the slit lamp remains the accepted clinical standard for intraocular pressure measurement — requiring both a calibrated applanation tonometer and a reliable slit lamp for accurate, reproducible IOP assessment in glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring.

Key Features of the Haag-Streit BD 900 Slit Lamp with AT 900
- Haag-Streit BD 900 biomicroscope — full clinical slit lamp with variable slit illumination, adjustable slit width (0–14 mm) and height, and two-step magnification via flip lever; Haag-Streit’s established optical quality in an accessible slit lamp platform for complete anterior segment examination
- AT 900 Goldmann applanation tonometer — the clinical gold standard for IOP measurement; mounts directly to the BD 900 for Goldmann applanation tonometry without a separate instrument or additional table footprint
- Integrated anterior segment workstation — slit lamp biomicroscopy and Goldmann applanation tonometry from a single instrument position; covers anterior segment examination, corneal evaluation, and IOP measurement in every patient encounter
- 300,000-lux halogen illumination — single-column illumination arm delivers up to 300,000 lux at the slit; continuously adjustable illumination intensity control positioned adjacent to the joystick for ergonomic single-handed operation
- Yellow filter and full filter set — built-in yellow filter for fluorescein contrast enhancement; cobalt blue, red-free, ND, and heat absorption filters included; UV and IR filters built-in; complete photochemical protection for routine and specialty examination
- C-mount video port — built-in video port via a prism permanently placed in the microscope; compatible with the CM 900 or any standard C-mount camera for slit lamp photography and documentation
- Used condition — accessible Haag-Streit pricing — used Haag-Streit BD 900 with AT 900 at $8,690 gives practices access to Haag-Streit clinical capability at a fraction of new-equipment cost; 90-day warranty on parts and workmanship
BD 900 Optical Design and Built-In Features
YELLOW FILTERFor good contrast enhancement when using fluorescein, simply turn the filter positioned at the front of the microscope. |
INSTRUMENT BASEA smoothly operating instrument base with a continuously adjustable illumination control conveniently situated next to the joystick. |
VIDEO PORTThe image is diverted to the camera by means of a small prism permanently placed in the microscope. The video port on the BD 900 is optimised for use with the CM 900, but will also take any other small C-mount camera. |
ILLUMINATIONWith a single support column, the BD 900 allows optimal access to the patient. The halogen bulb gives up to 300,000 lux illumination. The slit can be adjusted from 0–14 mm. UV and IR filters are built-in. Blue and grey filters can be inserted as needed. |

There are several significant differences between the BD 900 and the other slit lamps of the Haag-Streit range — although the underlying philosophy of quality has been retained. Halogen illumination is standard, there is a 14 mm slit and a yellow filter — all aspects considered important with regard to contact lens fitting and observation of the corneal surface. |
Clinical Applications
- Anterior segment biomicroscopy — corneal epithelium, stroma, and endothelial evaluation; anterior chamber depth and cell/flare assessment; crystalline lens and IOL inspection; routine slit lamp biomicroscopy in comprehensive and specialty eye examinations
- Goldmann applanation tonometry — AT 900 IOP measurement for glaucoma screening, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment response assessment; the accepted clinical method for IOP measurement in glaucoma suspects and diagnosed glaucoma patients
- Contact lens fitting and evaluation — slit lamp biomicroscopy of contact lens fit, fluorescein staining patterns with yellow filter enhancement, corneal desiccation assessment, and contact lens–related complication detection
- Corneal disease examination — assessment of corneal pathology including edema, ulceration, dystrophies, and post-surgical changes using slit lamp optical section, specular reflection, and diffuse illumination techniques
- Pre- and post-operative assessment — anterior segment examination for cataract, refractive, and corneal surgery patients requiring slit lamp documentation of pre-operative status and post-operative outcomes with the BD 900 standard optics
Who This Is For
- Ophthalmology practices — the BD 900 with AT 900 provides the slit lamp biomicroscopy and Goldmann IOP measurement capability that every ophthalmology practice requires; used pricing makes Haag-Streit accessible for expansion lanes or replacements
- Optometry practices performing Goldmann tonometry — for ODs who require a Haag-Streit slit lamp with integrated AT 900 tonometry, the BD 900 delivers complete anterior segment capability at used pricing
- Glaucoma monitoring practices — Goldmann applanation at a Haag-Streit slit lamp is the standard for IOP monitoring; the BD 900 with AT 900 supports high-volume glaucoma patient management without compromise on IOP accuracy
- Contact lens practitioners — the BD 900’s built-in yellow filter, 14 mm slit, and halogen illumination make it specifically suited for contact lens fitting and corneal surface evaluation
- Practices expanding or adding exam lanes — a used Haag-Streit BD 900 with AT 900 equips an additional lane with complete anterior segment capability without the cost or lead time of new equipment
