Always Use Quality Used Optometry Equipment

By Eliza Mendoza


Buying used optometry equipment can be correlated to driving up a narrow and twisting road. It can be a nice experience if you are attentive, but it can mean big trouble if you are not careful. This article will give you advice on buying second hand ophthalmic equipment so that you can get significant savings and not have any regrets.

The awesome news for the buyers of pre- owned ophthalmic tools is that the fly-by-night dealers who have shown up with the advancement of the Internet have, in the majority, been eliminated in the past several years. This leaves this business to the more dependable and accomplished dealers. Now there are about ten of the large dealers in this country who themselves have examined the businesses on the internet to stop unethical and shady dealers.

Many businesses have constructed an informal scheme of good and reputable dealers who will help a client to choose a couple of pieces of equipment that they need and they will do it together as a group. All practices watching their checkbooks lately and are hoping to get bigger profits. Practices are trying to find second hand tools that are still good quality just as though they were new.

Businesses that buy the most durable, best quality optical and mechanical pre- owned tools can make a saving of about twenty or thirty percent especially when you look at the prices of new tools. However, you shouldn't purchase such computerized equipment because technology is always changing and it will become antiquated quite quickly. It would be like procuring an old computer; people do not do this.

The starting and stocking of satellite offices form a significant part of the recent demand for previously owned ophthalmic tools. But they would prefer to cap their start-up charges for these practices until they can see if the need materializes. Buying pre- owned tools can be a good way to reduce those costs. Doctors who are looking for such tools to set up a satellite practice might not be able to get all the models and brands on their wish-lists.

Most of the time they will get up with a combination of new and old tools because the pieces they want to get can't be found. The finest sources of pre-owned tools for the dealers are practices that have gone into foreclosure, retiring practices and the trading-in of tools. Business has been good recently for second hand dealers because the need for these tools has far exceeded by the current supply.

A lot of the machines are evolving which has created a bigger demand for tools such as the optical coherence tomography (OCT) machine. Lots of businesses think that they should have the latest OCT tool. And there are a number of practices that will be exceptionally ecstatic with their old OCT machines that have been traded in.

Although OCT is an exceptionally fast selling item of the used optometry equipment field, there is a huge demand for the more traditional, longer lasting tools that have long life spans. These tools can be used for years without them needing to be replaced. Because they are enduring, they will retain their value for longer, which makes them less appealing as a saving than the more hi-tech tools.
