Ophthalmic Instrument Tables
An ophthalmic instrument table is the powered base that carries and positions your diagnostic devices — slit lamps, OCT and fundus cameras, visual field analyzers, auto refractors and keratometers — at the correct working height for each seated patient. Motorized height adjustment, a stable rolling base, and locking casters let the clinician bring the instrument to the patient (wheelchair users included) rather than the other way around, which speeds the exam and protects both patient comfort and expensive optics. The right table is matched to the specific instrument's weight and footprint, the room it lives in, and how many devices you want to share a single workstation.
As a US-based provider — not a reseller — US Ophthalmic outfits optometric and ophthalmic practices and labs with electric instrument tables in single-, dual-, and triple-instrument configurations, plus dedicated OCT and perimetry models from lines such as Luxvision and Visionare. Every table we sell is supported the way our own EZER equipment is: an in-house technical and repair department, US warranty, and stocked spare parts, so a worn motor, control switch, or caster is a service call rather than a full replacement. Tell us which instrument you're mounting and its weight, and we'll help you spec the table around it and turn it into a qualified quote.
How to choose an ophthalmic instrument table
- Instrument count and configuration: Decide how many devices will share the station. Single-instrument tables suit one slit lamp, auto refractor, or camera; dual and triple tables consolidate several devices to save exam-room floor space; and OCT- or perimeter-specific tables are sized for those particular instruments.
- Load capacity and motor rating: Match the table's rated load and motor to the combined weight of everything you mount. A dual-instrument setup needs a frame and motor built for that weight — never overload a single-instrument table with two heavy devices.
- Height range and accessibility: Look at the motorized stroke and minimum height. Adequate travel lets you fit tall and short patients, seated exams, and wheelchair users; an open pedestal base improves wheelchair access.
- Footprint and mobility: Confirm the tabletop and base fit the room and doorways, and that locking casters give you smooth repositioning plus a stable, locked stance during testing.
- Power and electrical compliance: Check the voltage configuration (many models offer 110V or 220V), onboard outlets for the instrument, and medical electrical-safety compliance for clinical use.
- Storage and cable management: Pull-out drawers hold trial lenses and small tools, while integrated outlets and cable routing keep the workstation tidy and safe.

| Model | Configuration | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| VS - Tavola Singola | Single-instrument electric table | Practices mounting one device — a slit lamp, auto refractor, or single camera — per workstation |
| VS - Tavola Tripla | Triple-instrument electric table | Consolidating three devices on one powered base to conserve exam-room floor space |
| VS - Tavola OCT Uno | Single-OCT electric table | A dedicated station sized for one OCT or imaging device |
| VS - Tavola Campo Visivo | Visual field / perimeter table | Supporting a visual field analyzer at the correct, stable testing height |
| ET-175 | Single-instrument electric table (Luxvision) | A compact, wheelchair-accessible single-instrument workstation with locking casters |
| ET-185 with Short Table | Dual-capable electric table (Luxvision) | Heavier or paired instrument setups needing greater load and height range |
Frequently asked questions
What is an ophthalmic instrument table used for? It is the powered, height-adjustable base that holds and positions diagnostic instruments — slit lamps, OCT and fundus cameras, visual field analyzers, auto refractors and keratometers — at the right height for each seated patient. Motorized adjustment, a rolling base, and locking casters let you align the instrument to the patient quickly and safely, including for wheelchair users.
How do I know whether I need a single, dual, or triple table? Base it on how many devices will share one station and their combined weight. A single-instrument table (such as the Tavola Singola or ET-175) is right for one device; dual and triple tables (such as the ET-185 configuration or Tavola Tripla) use a heavier-duty frame and motor to carry more. Give us the instruments and weights and we'll confirm the correct rating.
Do OCT and visual field analyzers need a special table? Often, yes. Dedicated models like the Tavola OCT Uno / OCT Due and the Tavola Campo Visivo are sized and rated for those instruments' footprint and testing height, which improves stability and image capture. Lighter instruments can run on a universal single-instrument table.
Are these tables motorized and wheelchair accessible? Yes. These are electric tables with motorized height adjustment via pedestal-mounted controls, locking casters for repositioning, and open pedestal bases that accommodate wheelchair access. Many are available in 110V or 220V and meet medical electrical-safety standards.
Do you provide warranty, service, and spare parts for these tables? Yes. US Ophthalmic is a provider with an in-house technical and repair department, US warranty, and stocked spare parts — motors, control switches, casters, and more — so most issues are a service call rather than a full replacement.
