Optometry Exam Chairs and Instrument Stands are a full power articulating examination chair suite suitable for routine practice and minor procedures. The chair can recline to a nearly flat position and has an adjustable surgical headrest. Most chairs are dual-sided operations, which allows practitioners to control the chair from either side while maintaining patient contact. The upholstered armrests and a large, hinged footrest add to patient stability and comfort. The chair also comes with a surgical headrest that facilitates eye examination and other eye procedures. The ophthalmic equipment stands are specifically designed to hold several ophthalmic testing devices, to enhance the overall eye care experience of patients while ensuring a consistent and simple ease of use for medical practitioners. Optometry chair and stand units provide an integrated eye care lane that includes both the chair and the stand.
