Before you actually go out and buy surgical loupes you need to find out which ones are best for you. There are a few factors that need to be addressed that will help you make the right choice. For one, you need to pick loupes that have a good synergy between the resolution of the loupe and its field width. Resolution should be top class as only then will you be able to see very small and almost invisible areas.
The resolution of a loupe changes according to the quality of optical design as well as precision of the lenses. Mostly, you can get good resolution when there is good magnification. Things and structures that are invisible to the human eye can become visible with the help of suitable magnification.
The best surgical loupes are those that are made from good quality materials. A pair of loupes that is made fro inferior quality materials will not provide suitable visualization and this can adversely affect the quality of work of the practitioner. It is also wrong to think that larger the surgical loupes, the better they are because just as a large TV set does not improve the image so too large loupes will not provide any real benefit. What is important is that you pick loupes that have suitable magnification and a proper field of view.
The field of view is the size of the working area when viewed through the loupes. A wide field of view cuts down eye fatigue. A higher magnification on the other hand will reduce the field of view.
The right surgical loupes for you are also those that have good synergy between the resolution and field of view. Resolution as already mentioned is very important and so too is field of view. However, it would be wrong to evaluate loupes according to the magnification they can provide because higher magnification does not mean that you will get to see the working area more clearly.
Secondly, when picking your surgical loupes you also need to address the issue of depth of field, which is the amount of focus provided by the loupe. Long depth of field will allow the practitioner to see the complete working area and it also helps to reduce eyestrain and fatigue. Depth of field depends on the amount of illumination that is available as well as magnification and the practitioner’s ability to adjust as well as focus properly on the working area.
The best surgical loupes for you are those that are also light in weight. Lightweight loupes offer more comfort to the wearer and they also allow the practitioner to use the loupes for extended periods of time without feeling discomfort.
When choosing your surgical loupes be sure to pick one that offers the right amount of magnification. Do not go with too high a magnification, as then you will not be able to see the working area properly.
Lastly, when choosing the right surgical loupes you also need to worry about the working angle, which is the angle of declination. This should be correct as then you will be able to perform your tasks comfortably and you will also find it easier to assume the correct posture when working on your patient.
