Ophthalmic device distributors in Denmark: 13 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 13 establishments in Denmark whose registry records include ophthalmic: 1 independent distributors (a channel role such as importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative, and no manufacturing of their own), 2 manufacturers' own import or sales entities, 0 regulatory representatives, and 10 manufacturers or exporters, out of 620 medical device establishments in Denmark overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA), EUDAMED, 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.

Who holds the registration in Denmark
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.
