Surgical loupes both magnify as well as light up the working area. In this way they help the practitioner perform their duties in a more effective and accurate manner. All that a practitioner has to do is learn how to make the right choices.
The right surgical loupes will help you work better because they make it easy for you to see well. This is why most practitioners have made these important tools an extension of their capabilities. The nice thing about these tools is that they enable you to work in ergonomic comfort. When it comes to buying these loupes there are a few things that need to be addressed including the design of the loupe.
There are basically two different types of loupe designs including through-the-lens and flip-up. The former are the most comfortable and they enable the practitioner to work without experiencing discomfort.
What’s more, they also enhance the practitioner’s performance. When choosing these items it is important that you pick one that is not too heavy. To ensure this, you need to pick surgical loupes with best quality hi-index glass as this helps in minimizing the weight of the item. If you go with a smaller button then it will not offer sufficient comfort and it is also not very adaptable. When picking your through-the-lens surgical loupes you need to pick those that are made to suit your facial dimensions. In addition, you need to pick loupes that provide suitable magnification and they should also meet your prescription needs.
Flip-up surgical loupes on the other hand can be purchased off the shelf. However, these items are not very popular, as they do not help to improve the practitioner’s performance.
Besides the design of the surgical loupes, you also need to check that the optics is of sufficient high quality and the same goes for the prescription carrier lenses. Though almost every manufacturer claims to make loupes with best quality lenses, the truth is that the best quality ones is those that are made in Germany. If you succeed in picking the best quality optics then you can look forward to a number of benefits like best resolution and absence of any optical or color distortion. In addition, the product will be made in the best quality high index glass to reduce the weight of the loupe.
The third most important factor that needs to be addressed at the time of buying surgical loupes is the frame. Do not make a common mistake, which is to go with frames that look nice but which do not help the practitioner in their work. Also, try and stay away from plastic through-the-lens frames as these do not provide stability and they are not adaptable either. It makes more sense to pick frames that have been designed for function as these offer maximum stability as well as adjustability.
Last but not least, when choosing your surgical loupes makes sure that you pick one that improves you width of field and depth of field. Also, make sure that you pick a loupe that provides good ergonomic comfort and which also promotes better posture and reduces eyestrain as well as neck strain.
