What Reichert Technologies does

Reichert Technologies designs, manufactures, and globally distributes ophthalmic diagnostic instruments for eye-care professionals. Its product portfolio spans tonometry (Tono-Vera rebound tonometer, Tono-Pen AVIA handheld, Reichert 7CR auto tonometer with corneal response, CT210 contact tonometer, Model 30 pneumatonometer), refraction (Phoroptor VRx digital, SightChek digital, Ultramatic RX Master), corneal assessment (Ocular Response Analyzer G3 with proprietary Corneal Hysteresis and IOPcc, iPac pachymeter), lensometry (LensChek Plus/Pro digital, ML1 manual), vision acuity testing (ClearChart 4/4X/4P), and slit lamps (Xcel 255/455), supported by consumables (Ocu-Film tip covers, Ocu-Dot probes) and software (ReichertSync, ReichertCapture, Reichert Insight, ViaRemote). The company's proprietary Corneal Hysteresis/IOPcc technology and the patent-pending ActiView positioning system on Tono-Vera are its principal technical differentiators, both aimed at improving glaucoma risk assessment and measurement reproducibility.

Reichert serves ophthalmologists, optometrists, opticians, retail eye-care chains, and veterinary professionals across more than 70 countries. The go-to-market combines 150+ distribution partners with direct sales for US federal accounts (VA contracts and GSA Schedule V797P-2114D), a dedicated national accounts program for multi-location eye-care organizations, and a European service center operated by AMETEK GmbH in Unterschleissheim, Germany. Pricing is quote-based with net-30 terms, supported by recurring trade-in rebate programs ($795 on select products) and a direct online store for accessories. The company is ISO 13485:2016 and MDSAP certified, FDA registered, and holds CE marking under EU Directive 93/42/EEC.

Reichert is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME, S&P 500), operating within the Ultra Precision Technologies division of AMETEK's Electronic Instruments Group following an October 2011 acquisition. The company originated circa 1826 and traces its corporate lineage through American Optical Company, Reichert-Jung, and Leica Microsystems before a 2002 management buyout backed by Summer Street Capital Partners formed the current Reichert, Inc. entity. Its headquarters and 83,000 square foot manufacturing facility are located in Depew, New York, with approximately 51–100 employees.
