Celebrating 75 years of excellence, precision & quality
For 75 years, Geuder has stood for precision, responsibility and continuous advancement — driven by people who make surgical excellence possible every single day. What began in 1951 as a family-owned company in Heidelberg has grown into a trusted partner in ophthalmology worldwide — defined by uncompromising quality “Made in Germany,” innovative developments and true partnerships built on mutual respect.
This anniversary is, above all, a moment of gratitude: to our employees for their expertise and dedication, to our partners and customers for their decades of trust, and to everyone who has helped shape our journey.
In 2026, we celebrate 75 years of Geuder — with initiatives, encounters and insights into our daily work. We are delighted to have you as part of this journey.
Our partners on this journey
75 years of development and success are only possible because of the people who accompany and actively shape Geuder’s journey. We are therefore especially pleased to share, in our anniversary video, the voices of those who have been closely connected with us for many years. Their messages of congratulations inspire us to continue striving for surgical excellence every day.
As a special expression of our appreciation, we donate €200 for every personal video message featured in our anniversary video. To date, €3,400 have been raised and donated in equal parts to the DBSV (German Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted) and the Stiftung Auge.
We warmly invite you to share your message — by video or in writing — and help us further increase the donation amount.
A personal message from David Geuder
“When you watch this video, it becomes clear that we are not simply celebrating an anniversary. You can see how much dedication, trust and responsibility have come together here over decades. I am proud of the people behind it.
You can feel that this is not only about products, but about responsibility, trust and working together over many years. My sincere thanks go to every single person who has shaped Geuder in the past and continues to shape it today.
It is truly special to be able to carry this story forward — with respect for what has been achieved and with great motivation for what lies ahead.”
