Tech Deck is a column by Tony Lemma, Bell Service Manager

Sure, you can always find someone to repair your broken instrument for less than the manufacturer. The auto mechanic patient will gladly inspect your exam chair’s hydraulic lift. Your tinkering grandfather can surely realign the axis on your phoropter, right?

This might work with your lawn mower, but why take the chances with your ophthalmic equipment?

After all, it’s the lifeblood of your practice. Don’t trust a family member, part timer or local handyman with the repair of your $12,000 slit lamp. Bell’s Ophthalmic service department trains regularly with the manufacturers we proudly represent.

We have all the service manuals, documentation and technical knowhow to properly service your equipment, and we only use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.

Most importantly, we can respond the same day, so you won’t have to wait for a relative to squeeze you into his hectic schedule.
