Ophthalmic device distributors in Finland: 14 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 14 establishments in Finland whose registry records include ophthalmic: 4 independent distributors (a channel role such as importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative, and no manufacturing of their own), 4 manufacturers' own import or sales entities, 0 regulatory representatives, and 6 manufacturers or exporters, out of 451 medical device establishments in Finland overall. The records come from EUDAMED, US FDA (openFDA), MHRA UK and Health Canada, last seen on 23 October 2026.
Ophthalmic covers intraocular lenses, diagnostic and surgical equipment, contact lenses and vision care. Buyers are eye hospitals, day surgery centres and optical retail, each with its own distributors. Intraocular lenses are a tender-driven, high-volume line in most public systems.
By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer | 8 | 57% | Named as importer in a registry: EUDAMED importer, FDA initial importer, or a Gulf import licence. |
| Authorised representative | 1 | 7% | Represents a foreign manufacturer towards the regulator (EU authorised representative and similar). |
| Registration holder | 3 | 21% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |
| Manufacturer | 9 | 64% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 2 | 14% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in Finland
In the EU and EEA the manufacturer, or its EU authorised representative for manufacturers based outside the EU, registers in EUDAMED and holds the CE marking file. Importers and distributors register separately as economic operators and never own the registration, which is why EU channel changes are easier than elsewhere.
