Two decades of building instruments clinicians can trust with the smallest measurements.
Clariview Medical Instruments designs, manufactures, and supports ophthalmic and dental diagnostic devices from our headquarters in Shanghai, with a distribution and service branch in Europe.
Built by engineers who wanted instruments that held up outside the lab.
Clariview was founded in 2004 by a small team of optical engineers who felt existing diagnostic equipment was too fragile, and too difficult to maintain, for the clinics that needed it most. That founding brief — build instruments that survive daily clinical use — still shapes every product we release.
Today our research, production, and business operations are headquartered in Shanghai, with a distribution and service branch in Europe supporting clinicians across more than 60 countries.
