·     Marco – An eye care veteran manufacturer that specializes in giving a modern feel to classic instruments. They have been going strong for over 40 years now and are still considered a top manufacturer.

·     Canon – Everybody knows about this company’s fantastic line of cameras so it should come as no surprise that their commercial instruments for eye care purposes are the top of the line. Their equipment and software allow a level of precision that is unmatched by most other Ophthalmic Instruments. When you buy a canon machine you may not ever use another brand.

·     Haag-Streit – They have produced instruments that are widely accepted as the industry standard and have a combined 260 years of experience in the field. If you have been in for an eye appointment recently then you have most likely seen one of their machines.

 These are just a few of the heavy hitters of the Ophthalmic Manufacturers that you can find when Buying Used Ophthalmic Equipment. You will definitely not be stuck with low end brands from companies that you have never heard of. The only downside to buying used instruments is that they are used. So they will need Ophthalmic Repairs sooner than they would if they were new but not by a lot. Ophthalmic equipment is very delicate because of the precision of their measurements. So just a small jostle or bump could mean that you will be calling Ophthalmic Technicians to recalibrate or repair the machine. That can happen just as easily to a new machine as to an old machine. However, since a used machine will have more wear and tear, then it will need more frequent maintenance. Considering how much you will save by not buying new, you should be able to afford a few repairs. If you find a really good deal, you may be able to buy a used machine, wear it out and buy another used machine, for the price you would have paid for one new machine.  Please visit our site at Used Ophthamic Equipement.

The short answer is yes they are with a caveat. Used equipment can be every bit as good as new but you must have them looked over or if necessary repaired by an experienced ophthalmic technician. Just like anything else, people prefer to buy new ophthalmic instruments. If I gave you the choice between buying a new corvette or a used one I think I know what choice you would make but it all comes down to money. There was a time, when the economy was booming, when an eye care provider would just dispose of their old equipment and buy a new one to replace it. Things have changed a bit since. It was once commonplace for a company to have an equipment replacement plan, where every year a certain number of instruments were retired and new ones bought to ensure that a high quality standard was met. Now those plans are being canceled and the same companies are looking to repair their machines and try to get all they can out of their lifecycle.

Latham and Phillips SE was able to adapt to the situation very quickly and has gained a reputation as one of the premiere ophthalmic instrument repair companies in the south east United States. Their ophthalmic technicians have years of experience with even the most sensitive pieces of equipment and the precision of their repairs is unmatched. If you can get past the initial discomfort of buying used, you will find that their instruments are every bit as good as the new ones. In some ways they are even better. Think about it this way. When you buy a new ophthalmic instrument it is unused and untested in the field. So, if there are any manufacturing defects, you will be experiencing them first hand. If you buy used ophthalmic equipment then someone else has already found all the potential problems and an experienced technician has gone over it with a fine toothed come. So, the first time you use your ophthalmic instrument it is as comfortable and reliable as your favorite pair of jeans.

Latham and Phillips are based in Atlanta, Georgia but are constantly looking to expand. They have satisfied customers all across the southeast including Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, North and South Carolina as well as Florida. So when you are ready to get some high quality ophthalmic instruments but you do not want to have to take out another mortgage, call Latham and Phillips. You will be surprised by how well their products will fit into your eye care practice.
