But with so many choices from so many manufacturers out in the world, how are you supposed to know which is best for you? It’s simple: work with a manufacturer you can trust.

So which company should you trust? Well, that depends on a few factors. But you don’t need to spend hours of time or thousands of dollars to find out. If you look for the right things, you’ll find the right company with ease.

Read on to find out exactly what you should look for in an ophthalmic equipment company, and how Keeler has exceeded expectations for more than 100 years.

What Type of Industry Experience Does the Company Have?

There’s something to be said for longevity. If you’re thinking of buying equipment from some new startup company, make sure you find out exactly who started it, why they started it, and what the founders’ backgrounds are. There are loads of startup entrepreneurs in the world who have two skills – fundraising and market targeting – but know next to nothing about the industry they intend to enter.

Newer companies may have shiny objects, but often lack the combined experience of industry professionals who’ve been making advances for years and years, with every reason to keep making advances for many years to come.

To that end, Keeler has consistently been on the cutting edge of ophthalmic equipment for over 100 years. We’ve got a solid foundation of creating and improving the equipment eye professionals use to make the world see better for over a century.

We’ve built an incredible lineup of ophthalmic products distributed in a wide range of countries throughout the world. Our company is made of passionate professionals who truly care about eye health. We’re not here to disrupt the industry – we’re here to lead it.

Will the Ophthalmic Company Stand Behind Their Equipment?

Anytime you consider purchasing equipment from a new manufacturer, you should be leery. If you can’t easily find any information on the product’s warranty or company guarantees, you be more than leery.

However, Keeler stands behind every product in our lineup. Our commitment to quality, Keeler manufactured devices carry up to three years warranty; please see our website or individual user instructions for full details. Our craftsmanship is solid, and we back it up every step of the way.

Does the Ophthalmic Company Offer Convenient Service?

What good is a warranty if you can’t make use of it when the equipment you bought breaks down? Several companies require you either bring in your equipment or ship it to them at your own expense.

At Keeler, we would never do this to our customers. We have a service department that uses an authorized distributor network to carry out all necessary repairs and routine maintenance for our high quality products. We recognize the need for speed, convenience, and an unparalleled level of customer care practicing optometrists and ophthalmologists need in today’s fast-paced world.

Does the Ophthalmic Company Innovate or Copy Trends?

Often times, newer companies arrive in the market with a shinier version of an instrument without having actually improved the technology or invented new crafting techniques. You should always look for what’s original about each product; if there’s no information on how it differentiates, then it’s likely it’s not all that different.

Keeler has been not only manufacturing instruments longer than most companies, we’ve been developing instruments. We maintain close relationships not only with our practicing customers but also with schools to speak with educators, students and residents to find out what their current needs are. We spend significant time on research and development, so we can produce instruments of value – not just more shiny objects.

Is the Ophthalmic Company a Thought Leader?

When you’re looking for a potential ophthalmic company, it’s important to know how others in the industry view the company. Are they trusted? What do their customers say about them? More importantly: do they communicate news, innovations, and ideas to the rest of the industry?

Keeler keeps a busy trade show schedule to ensure we connect with the whole world as much as possible. We also keep a successful online presence with useful articles for industry professionals via our blog.
