Optometry Equipment Appraisal

An optometry equipment appraisal is a professional, independent opinion of value for optometric assets such as exam lanes, diagnostic imaging systems, OCT scanners, visual field analyzers, and optical dispensary equipment. Reports may be prepared for financing, insurance, estate planning, charitable donations, practice transitions, audits, or regulatory compliance.

You may need an optometry equipment appraisal for practice sales or acquisitions, buy-ins or partner transitions, estate and gift tax reporting, charitable contributions, insurance coverage documentation or claims, asset-based lending or refinancing, divorce or litigation matters, and financial reporting or compliance requirements. If you are unsure whether an appraisal is required, we can help determine the appropriate scope.

We appraise a wide range of optometry assets, including exam chairs and lanes, OCT systems and retinal imaging equipment, visual field analyzers, autorefractors and keratometers, slit lamps and diagnostic instruments, lensometers and optical lab equipment, frame inventory and dispensary build-outs, pre-testing and specialty diagnostic systems, and multi-location practice equipment inventories. Both individual assets and complete practice equipment inventories can be appraised.

Pricing depends on the number of assets, equipment type and complexity, number of locations, intended use of the appraisal, and whether on-site inspection is required. We provide clear, upfront quotes once we understand your scope.
