Visual field analyzer cost depends mainly on the generation of the unit and its testing capabilities. Older legacy models like the Humphrey 740i and 750i typically sell used for $3,000 to $9,000, while current-generation systems like the Zeiss Humphrey HFA3 and Haag-Streit Octopus 900 range from $12,000 to $28,000 refurbished. New systems start around $28,000 and can exceed $45,000 for a fully configured HFA3.
This guide covers real price ranges by model, the key factors that affect resale value, and what to check before buying a used perimeter.

| Model | Typical Used Price Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Zeiss Humphrey Matrix 715/800 | $1,500 – $5,000 | Frequency-doubling technology, screening-focused |
| Humphrey Field Analyzer 740i | $3,000 – $8,500 | Legacy model, still widely used in practice |
| Humphrey Field Analyzer 750i | $4,000 – $9,000 | Slightly newer than the 740i, similar testing library |
| Haag-Streit Octopus 900 | $12,000 – $20,000 | Combines kinetic and static perimetry in one unit |
| Zeiss Humphrey HFA3 (820i/840i) | $18,000 – $25,000 | Current-generation standard, SITA Faster algorithm |
| Zeiss Humphrey HFA3 860i | $22,000 – $28,000 | Top-of-line HFA3 configuration |
Prices reflect typical secondary-market listings as of 2026 and vary with condition, software version, and included accessories.
Legacy models like the Humphrey 740i, 750i, and the Matrix screening units remain in active clinical use worldwide and represent the lowest-cost entry into visual field testing. Current-generation systems like the HFA3 and Octopus 900 add faster testing algorithms (such as SITA Faster), touchscreen interfaces, and better long-term software support. Practices billing insurance in regions that require specific testing protocols should confirm which algorithms a used unit supports before buying.
These are the most common perimeters on the secondary market and remain fully functional for standard threshold and screening tests. Used units typically sell for $3,000-$9,000 depending on bowl condition, printer function, and software version.
The Octopus 900 is a strong choice for glaucoma specialists who want kinetic perimetry alongside standard static testing. Refurbished units typically run $12,000-$20,000. We currently source refurbished perimeters for buyers — view current listings here.
The HFA3 is the current clinical standard for automated perimetry. The 820i and 840i configurations typically sell used for $18,000-$25,000, while a fully configured 860i can reach $28,000. Buyers should confirm the SITA testing strategies included, since some are licensed separately.
A new HFA3 system typically starts around $28,000 and can exceed $45,000 with a full testing package, while a refurbished HFA3 delivers the same current-generation testing for roughly 30-40% less. For practices on a tighter budget, a well-maintained legacy 740i or 750i can still meet most routine screening and threshold testing needs at a fraction of the cost of any new system.
Before committing to a used perimeter, verify the following:
Used visual field analyzers typically range from $1,500 for older screening units to $28,000 for a fully configured current-generation HFA3, with most practical clinical units falling between $3,000 and $25,000.
Both are automated static perimeters used to test for glaucoma and neurological visual field loss. The Octopus 900 additionally offers kinetic perimetry in the same unit, which some glaucoma and neuro-ophthalmology specialists prefer, while the HFA line is more widely adopted overall and has a larger installed base of comparative testing data.
It depends on the manufacturer and model year. Current-generation units like the HFA3 are more likely to still be supported, while older legacy models may no longer receive updates but remain fully functional for standard testing.
For practices that need reliable, budget-friendly visual field testing and don’t require the newest testing algorithms, a well-maintained 740i or 750i is still a practical choice and a fraction of the cost of a current-generation system.
International shipping and crating for a visual field analyzer typically runs a few hundred to around two thousand dollars depending on destination and unit size. We coordinate shipping and import documentation as part of every transaction.
