Beyond Manufacturer Support: Keeping Ophthalmic Lasers in Service Longer

10/23/2026

As ophthalmic technology evolves, manufacturers periodically transition service and support away from earlier-generation laser models. While this is a natural part of the medical equipment lifecycle, many of these laser systems remain reliable, effective, and well-suited to the clinical needs of ophthalmic practices.

At Laser Locators, the end of manufacturer support does not necessarily mean the end of an ophthalmic laser’s useful life.

Through our specialized Laser Performance Center, Laser Locators provides service and repair solutions for a wide range of ophthalmic lasers no longer supported by their original manufacturers, helping practices extend equipment life, maintain performance, and maximize their investments.

Specialized Service Beyond Manufacturer Support

Ophthalmic lasers represent a significant investment, and replacing a system is not always necessary simply because manufacturer support has ended. With specialized technical expertise, many systems can continue serving practices well beyond their original manufacturer support period.

That’s where Laser Locators makes a difference.

Our Laser Performance Center is staffed by experienced engineers and highly trained technicians with extensive knowledge of ophthalmic laser technologies. From diagnosing complex technical issues to evaluating repair options, our team provides specialized solutions designed to help keep equipment operational.

Helping Practices Make Informed Equipment Decisions

Deciding whether to service or replace an ophthalmic laser depends on its condition, repair costs, parts availability, and clinical needs. For systems suitable for continued use, professional service and repair can offer a cost-effective alternative to replacement.

With expertise in equipment sales, refurbishment, service, and repair, Laser Locators helps practices evaluate their options, minimize operational disruptions, and maximize their equipment investments.

Supporting Ophthalmic Equipment Throughout Its Lifecycle

For more than 20 years, Laser Locators has worked with ophthalmic practices, surgery centers, and industry partners around the globe to provide equipment and technical solutions throughout the ophthalmic equipment lifecycle.

Our relationships with leading ophthalmic equipment manufacturers, combined with the specialized capabilities of our 12,000-square-foot Laser Performance Center, allow us to support practices across a broad range of technologies and equipment needs.
