Ophthalmic Assets sources and lists used phacoemulsification and phaco/vitrectomy systems from verified sellers across the US, Japan, Europe, and beyond. Used phaco systems typically sell for $8,000 to $40,000 depending on platform and configuration — a significant saving over new systems, which start around $60,000.
Every listing includes documented condition, tested functionality, and a clear record of included handpieces and accessories, so you know exactly what you’re buying before you commit.
Availability changes as systems sell, so the listings page is the most accurate view of current inventory. As of this writing, active listings include an Alcon Centurion Phaco System and an Alcon Constellation Vision System (combined phaco/vitrectomy), sourced from Japan. If the specific platform you need isn’t listed right now, use the notify form below and we’ll reach out as soon as a match comes in.

Lower cost, same clinical outcome. Phacoemulsification and vitrectomy technology is mature. A well-maintained Alcon Centurion or Bausch + Lomb Stellaris performs the same procedure as a new unit, and many ASCs and hospital OR suites worldwide run on refurbished platforms with full clinical outcomes.
Faster than ordering new. New systems from major manufacturers often carry lead times for manufacturing and delivery. A verified used system can typically be sourced, tested, and shipped much faster.
Global sourcing, including Japan. We regularly source phaco and vitrectomy systems from Japan, where surgical facilities typically maintain equipment meticulously and replace systems on predictable cycles — making them a strong source of well-preserved units.

Every phaco and vitrectomy system we list is checked against the same criteria buyers care about most:
If your practice is focused on cataract volume without retina surgery, a phaco-only platform like the Alcon Centurion or B+L Stellaris PC is the right fit. If your facility performs both cataract and retina procedures, a combined phaco/vitrectomy platform — such as the Alcon Constellation or B+L Stellaris Elite — almost always delivers better value per dollar than buying two separate systems.

Upgrading to a new platform? Your existing phaco or vitrectomy system likely has meaningful resale value, particularly if it includes current handpieces. Phaco and vitrectomy systems are among the highest-value items in the ophthalmic secondary market and typically attract strong international demand.
Browse current listings, or contact us with the platform and configuration you need. We’ll confirm condition, included accessories, and shipping details before you commit, and connect you directly with the listing.
Warranty terms vary by system and seller. Every verified listing includes a documented condition and testing report, and any warranty offered is confirmed as part of the purchase process before you buy.
Yes — we regularly ship phaco and vitrectomy systems internationally. Surgical equipment requires careful crating and may require import clearance, so shipping and compliance requirements for your country are confirmed as part of the purchase process.
Each listing is checked for software version, included handpieces, fluidics module condition, footswitch and remote functionality, and — for combined platforms — vitrectomy module performance. Case count and service history are documented where available.
