Tables for One Instrument
A table for one instrument gives a single diagnostic device its own stable, height-adjustable home in the exam lane. Instead of sharing a wide multi-instrument surface, these compact tables are built to carry one unit at a time, such as a slit lamp, autorefractor/keratometer, tonometer, lensmeter, or a portable fundus camera. The smaller footprint fits tight pretest rooms and satellite lanes, while a powered or adjustable pedestal brings the instrument to the patient rather than asking the patient to bend, reach, or reposition. For wheelchair users and shared lanes, that height range is often the difference between a comfortable exam and a compromised one.
As an ophthalmic equipment provider, not a drop-ship reseller, we stock, deliver, and stand behind every single-instrument table we carry. Our lineup spans value-focused electric tables through smooth motorized lifts, so you can match the base to the device and the budget without overbuying. Each table is backed by a US warranty and supported by our in-house technical and repair department, with spare parts on hand, so a table you buy today keeps working through years of daily clinical use.
How to choose a single-instrument table
- Match the instrument weight and footprint: Confirm the tabletop is large enough for your device and that the table's load rating comfortably covers it. A benchtop autorefractor or slit lamp has very different clearance and weight needs than a compact tonometer or lensmeter.
- Motorized vs. adjustable height: Powered, pedestal-controlled lift (as on the ET-175 and Visionare Tavola models) makes one-touch height changes easy in shared and wheelchair-accessible lanes. A simpler electric or fixed-range table like the ET-150 can be the smarter buy for a lighter device or a tighter budget.
- Mobility and locking casters: If the table moves between lanes or gets pushed aside for cleaning, look for high-grade casters with locking wheels so the instrument stays put during the exam.
- Power and instrument outlet: Most powered instruments plug into the table, so check for an integrated switch/outlet and confirm the voltage you need (110V or 220V) matches your facility.
- Tabletop size and short-table options: Short-tabletop versions (such as the ET-185 with Short Table or GET-15 SHORT TBL) conserve lane space when the room is small or the instrument is compact.
- Warranty, service, and spare parts: A table is a long-lived fixture. Buying from a provider with a US warranty, an in-house repair department, and stocked spare parts protects the investment far better than a marketplace listing with no support behind it.

Frequently asked questions
What is a table for one instrument? It is a compact ophthalmic instrument table sized and rated to hold a single diagnostic device, such as a slit lamp, autorefractor, tonometer, lensmeter, or portable fundus camera. It typically offers height adjustment and mobile, locking casters so the instrument sits at the right working height in a smaller footprint than a multi-instrument table.
Should I get a motorized or a basic-adjustment table? Choose motorized when the lane is shared among providers or serves wheelchair patients and you want fast, one-touch height changes; powered models like the ET-175 and Visionare Tavola Singola are built for that. A simpler electric table such as the ET-150 is a sound, economical choice for a lighter instrument or a lower budget.
Which instruments fit on a single-instrument table? Any single benchtop or handheld diagnostic device the tabletop and load rating can support, commonly a slit lamp, autorefractor/keratometer, tonometer, lensmeter, or a compact retinal/fundus camera. Confirm the device's weight and footprint against the specific table before ordering.
Do you offer new and refurbished tables? We focus on new instrument tables backed by a US warranty, and our team can advise on the best-value option for your lane and device. Ask our specialists about current availability and any certified pre-owned or trade-in options when applicable.
What support comes with the table? Because we are a provider with an in-house technical and repair department, every table is backed by a US warranty and supported with spare parts and service. If something needs attention down the road, you work with our team directly rather than chasing an overseas seller.
