What sets 1stQ apart and what 1stQ does differently.

The 1stQ DNA

Solutions

Our innovations create added value and solve real problems.

Service

We are there for you – with expertise and new ideas as a partner at eye level.

Sustainability

As an owner-managed company based in Germany, we take responsibility.

We want to do things better. This means sometimes also taking unusual paths and seeing the impossible as a possibility. Entrepreneurial independence, constructive dissatisfaction and a fascination with the interaction of people and technology have always been our driving force. It is not without reason that we invest in research and development more than almost any other company. After all, “leading” does not only mean being better. It means constantly getting better – not in comparison with others, but with oneself. This is the only way that we can give our best for others and work with you to provide pioneering solutions.

Dipl.-Ing. Rüdiger Dworschak

Founder & CEO

“The fundamental ideas of 1stQ are ’Vision 100 %’ – the 100 % predictability in lens exchange – and the goal of creating optimal conditions for treatment and consultation regarding all aspects of lens surgery.”

Daniel Hepper

Head of Sales

“Good vision is quality of life.
That’s why we do everything we can to provide each patient with the best possible visual experience – through innovative solutions, utmost care, and passionate dedication.”

Head of Sales

“For us, innovation means not only technological development, but also solutions that create real added value for doctors and patients. The IOL Experience with RALV represents a new level of precision and efficiency in lens surgery.”

Simone Senk

Head of Marketing

“Sustainability must not be a strategy of image. Nevertheless, it is important to outwardly demonstrate that we take responsibility as an active role model and to inspire others.”

Thomas Diehm

CTO

“Quality is the number 1 priority at 1stQ. However, it is not only a matter of high-quality materials and flawless production: premium products deliver added value that leads to optimum results.”
