Dental Surgical Loupe Loupes 2.5X Magnification Working Distance 420mm Burgundy Safety Goggle

If you are a dentist and need to replace your 2.5 X loops, this is the way to go. I remember in dental school we were forced to buy the expensive loops by the long-standing brands that used to monopolize the field. I paid near $1000 for my dental loops from designs for vision and it was just never perfect even though it was custom made for my use. These Amazon loops are so great and there is so much flexibility with the work distance that I’m actually surprised. I enjoy using my loops now.

As a dental hygienist who works a few times a year as per diem, this was not bad to use for the price.

I understand the focal distance isn't correct for dental hygene, but is perfect for working on small parts. I used them in the shop gunsmithing and machining, and probably would work really well for small hobby work or painting warhammer 40k figurines. I do recommend them!

Every time I would go to the dentist and see them wear specs like this, I knew I could put them to good use in the shop. The official medical versions from medical suppliers are criminally expensive. For about $30 on Amazon I thought I would give these a try and am I glad I did. First, you have to take some time to get them dialed in. I am old and need strong glasses, so I am clipping them to my own eyeglasses, which is working fine, depending on the style of glasses you use to mount them. The spacing and direction of the lenses has to be spot-on, otherwise your eyes will strain and you won't use them. Take a few minutes and get the sight picture perfect from both eyes on the exact point of magnification. Next, you have to be aware that the optimal focal point is remarkable far from your face - like 18 inches. It's kind of weird to have something that far away be magnified that much. Because the distance is far, you really have to hold your head still and steady since you are highly magnifying a very small spot from pretty far away. My optimal use for these is drilling very small sub-mm holes in PCBs on my drill press. Since the magnification point is so far away I do not have to get my nose right up in the drill to precisely position the workpiece and drill like I used to. They may not be for everyone, but if you have a use case like mine, they are a great addition to the arsenal in the shop.

It might depend upon the person, but my husband didn't like them. He ordered a different kind that had "different strengths" of lens that come in a case.The head piece also has an LED light on it.

Ordered these specifically for the longer 440-540 mm working distance and received 420 mm ones, so I returned them. The flip-up mechanism was smooth and they felt really good for the price. If I had a way to make sure I received the right working distance, I might have ordered a new pair.

Bought 6 pairs for my clinic. I’m a veterinarian and frequently doing surgery ranging from micro eye surgery to emergency procedures. I use them all the time for dentals and wound repair. I do use them in conjunction with a nice headlamp since there is no light source but the other pair of lupes my clinic was going to buy me were 1500$ and these are very compatible in quality. Now I can use the money I saved on more training classes! Very lightweight and comfortable to wear for lengthy procedures. You can even flip up the magnification for normal goggle use too. Only complaint is that they occasionally dog up when the going gets tough

Liked that it has a more than adequate depth of field for detail carving from a distance. I also don't worry much about being covered or breathing dust particles. Another nice feature is an added piece to change the mount from fixed to removable mount. A highly adaptable tool!

Superb

Elegi este modelo porque la descripcion dice "distancia focal 4.4 a 5.1" y se acerca mas.a mi distancia de trabajo. Sin embargo tiene una distancia de 4.5 no ajustable y resulta incomodo para alguien alto. El kit es bueno, las lupas faciles de instalar y ajustar.

I am a dental student and those are a great introduction to dental loupes!
