Marco Encore Automatic Exam Chair & 1290 Encore Stand — Used

This used Marco encore automatic exam chair pairs the 1220 Encore reclining chair with the 1290 Encore instrument stand to form a complete refraction lane for optometry and ophthalmology practices. Recline and elevation run on Marco’s field-proven hydraulic system for smooth, quiet adjustments, and a programmable setting lets a single touch recline the patient to a preset position or fully flat, then return the chair to seated with another touch.

Backlit fingertip switches on both sides of the marco encore automatic exam chair and a corded foot pedal control elevation, recline and automatic return, so the clinician keeps both hands free for the exam. The 1290 Encore stand adds a control console for the stand lamp, room light and binding post, an auto-return key, three instrument wells, and articulating arms for the overhead lamp and lane instruments.

Exam-room ergonomics matter for the clinician as well as the patient: a scoping review indexed by the National Library of Medicine describes how working posture contributes to musculoskeletal pain among ophthalmologists — one reason practices value a chair that raises, reclines and returns the patient to a consistent working position.

Why Practices Choose the Marco Encore Chair & Stand

• Hydraulic recline and elevation — Marco’s field-proven hydraulic system delivers smooth, quiet chair movement from upright to fully flat.
• Programmable position — one touch reclines the chair to a preset position; another touch returns the patient to seated.
• Backlit fingertip switches — illuminated controls on both sides of the chair for elevation, recline and return.
• Corded foot pedal — auxiliary control of elevation, recline and automatic return without using your hands.
• Single-handed headrest — smooth one-hand adjustment with a lock indicator confirming the headrest is secure.
• Easy-clean upholstery — Boltaflex Sierra upholstery and scuff-resistant covers on the arms and base.
• Integrated 1290 Encore console — stand lamp, room light and binding post controls plus auto-return on one panel, with three instrument wells.

Clinical Applications

• Routine comprehensive eye examinations and refractions in a fixed lane
• Slit-lamp examination and binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy with the patient reclined
• In-office minor procedures that call for a flat, stable chair position
• Contact lens fittings and follow-up visits that benefit from a repeatable position
• High-volume clinics that need a quick chair reset between patients

Who This Is For

• Optometry and ophthalmology practices building or replacing a primary exam lane
• New or satellite offices seeking a complete chair-and-stand foundation at a used price point
• Clinics standardizing on Marco instrumentation across the exam room
• Practices that want switch-controlled recline to reduce clinician reach and strain
