No small feat to be certain, but USC is up to the task with over forty faculty members with primary appointments to ophthalmology who are nationally and internationally renowned and represent every ophthalmic specialty. The department has also been awarded more than 100 patents for innovations in eye care and vision research.
Behind all of these incredible ophthalmologists, residents, and their accomplishments lies the exam equipment utilized to produce the results and make this exceptional level of patient care possible.

They provide not only annual PM services, which most manufacturers such as Haag-Streit and Reichert recommend, they also offer full coverage service contracts that provide 100% repair coverage, including parts and labor.
USC has found this coverage product very appealing not only for their fiscal needs, as it provides stability and predictability to their budget, but for the ease of knowing that they don’t need to hassle with the red tape that can bog down the process of repair and service. Repairs that need to be performed quickly in order to keep their patient care optimized are covered, with no additional purchase orders or invoices needed.
