Even with excellent vision, magnification loupes offer significant benefits that go far beyond simply seeing better:

• Instantly improved posture: Loupes promote a more upright and ergonomic working position, helping you work professionally without compromising your body or long-term health.
• Enhanced precision and detail control: Magnification provides a crystal-clear image, allowing for greater accuracy and higher-quality results in every procedure.
• Increased safety: Loupes help you maintain an optimal working distance, which not only protects your eyes from splashes and debris but also reduces close-range exposure during dental and medical procedures.

Discover more about Ergonomics and Magnifications.

ExamVision offers a wide range of 15 magnifications available in 5 loupe systems:

• Our Essential and HD ranges are built on the Galilean lens system, known for their lightweight design and ease of use.
• The Kepler Reflekt, Kepler Kompakt, and Kepler Advanced systems are based on the Prismatic lens system, offering higher magnification and advanced optical precision.

When choosing the right magnification for your dental or surgical loupes, it’s important to take into account both your working conditions and personal preferences — including posture, procedure type, and how many hours a day you’ll be using magnification.

If you're new to loupes or wear them for extended periods, we typically recommend starting with 2.3x to 3.0x magnification. These levels offer an ideal depth of field, allowing you to move naturally while keeping your subject in focus, as well as a wide field of view that helps maintain relaxed posture and visual comfort throughout the day.

Higher magnifications are best suited to specialist work, usually performed for shorter durations. Many professionals choose a 2.8x loupe for everyday work, and pair it with a higher magnification loupe such as 3.3x, 3.5x, 3.8x, 4.0x, 4.6x, 5.0x, 5.7x, 6.0x, or even 7.0x for more intricate tasks.

It’s crucial not to choose a magnification higher than you actually need, as this can negatively impact your ergonomics and comfort.

Ideally, advanced users have both a Galilean loupe for general use and a Kepler Advanced loupe, which offers four interchangeable magnifications, allowing them to adapt easily to different procedures throughout the day.

All surgical loupes from ExamVision are designed by optometrists and customised to the individual surgeon, other medical professional, or medical student. Each surgical glasses solution is based on individual eyesight, need for magnification as well as physical working environment such as distance and tools, and facilities available. In general, we recommend the following magnifications for surgical loupes within medical and surgical fields:

• 2.3x to 3.3x (Lower magnification).
  These magnifications are ideal for general surgical procedures where a wide field of view and excellent depth of field are essential. They are well-suited for many standard medical and surgical applications.
  
  Medical students rarely require magnification above 3.3x — partly due to their age (typically under 40) and the general procedures they perform.
  
  Galilean HD is a lightweight and versatile loupe available in four magnifications, making it a perfect solution for extended surgical use.

• 3.5x to 7.0x (Higher magnification). For more complex, detail-oriented procedures such as microsurgery, vascular, neuro, ophthalmic, cardiac or hand surgery, higher magnifications are essential. These applications demand sharp, high-resolution visualization — typically from 3.5x to 7.0x, approaching near-microscope levels of precision.
  
  If you're looking for a high-magnification loupe that remains lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, we recommend exploring the Kepler Kompakt — ideal for specialist surgery without compromising ergonomics.
  
  For the ultimate in flexibility, discover Kepler Advanced, the world’s lightest adjustable loupe and the only one featuring four magnifications in a single system (4.0x, 5.0x, 6.0x, 7.0x) — allowing you to adapt quickly between procedures.

All ExamVision dental loupes are designed by optometrists and customised to the individual needs of dentists, oral surgeons, hygienists, and other dental specialists. Every solution is tailored based on individual eyesight, need for magnification as well as physical working environment such as distance, tools, and facilities available in the dental clinic.

ExamVision offers one of the most extensive selections on the market, with 15 magnification options across five advanced dental loupe systems. However, in general we recommend these magnifications for dental precision:

• 2.3x to 3.3x (Lower magnification). These magnification levels are often sufficient for general dentistry, diagnostics, extractions, implants, orthodontics, and dental hygiene procedures. Dental hygienists and students rarely require magnification above 3.3x — partly because most are under the age of 40, and this range offers an ideal balance of field of view, depth of field, and visual comfort. 

• 3.5x to 7.0x (Higher magnification).These are recommended for more demanding precision work, such as crown and bridge procedures, composites and aesthetics, periodontal surgery, final margin verifications, complicated endodontics such as accessory canals, complicated diagnostics including horizontal and vertical fractures and similar procedures.

Advanced loupe options from ExamVision:

Kepler Advanced is the world’s lightest adjustable loupe, featuring ExamVision’s highest magnification, meticulously crafted for expert users. It stands out as the world's only loupe with four magnifications in one—offering 4.0x, 5.0x, 6.0x and 7.0x options.

Kepler Reflekt is the first reflective ergo loupe by ExamVision with unmatched peripheral vision and steep angulation. Crafted from ultra-lightweight materials and equipped with crystal-clear optics, it’s ideal for prolonged use, superior ergonomics, and high-precision procedures. Available in 2 magnifications: 4.0x, 6.0x.

Explore the full range of ExamVision loupes and get personalised guidance from your local ExamVision dealer to find the magnification that’s right for you.

At ExamVision, our specialists carefully assess your eyesight, magnification needs, and working environment — including distances, instruments, and clinic layout. Based on your requirements and our expertise, we will guide you and customise the best dental hygiene loupes for you – a loupe that is uniquely fitted for your eyes while at the same time facilitating a superior ergonomic position. 

While every solution is tailored to the individual, we offer general recommendations for dental hygiene professionals:

• A magnification range of 2.3x to 3.3x is typically sufficient for hygiene examinations, preventive care, and general oral procedures.
• Lower magnification loupes provide a wider field of view and greater depth of field, allowing more freedom of movement. This makes them especially suitable for both entry-level users and all-day wear.

Explore ExamVision’s finest entry-level loupe, Galilean Essential, as well as our ultra-lightweight Galilean HD, both designed for optimal comfort and extended wear.

There is no universal standard for measuring or calculating magnification — it typically varies by manufacturer and depends on the specific loupe system being used.

At ExamVision, we measure angular magnification at a working distance of 45 cm.

While magnification can serve as a useful reference point, it's important to remember that choosing the right loupe goes beyond numbers. You should personally test a pair to evaluate factors like visual clarity, field of view, depth of field, and whether the magnification suits the specific procedures you perform.

Choosing between TTL (Through-The-Lens) and flip-up loupes is ultimately a matter of personal preference. However, TTL loupes offer several clear advantages, particularly when tailored to your individual specifications:

• Lighter weight: TTL loupes are generally lighter than flip-ups due to the absence of the hinge mechanism.
• Wider field of view: The best possible optical performance is achieved by bringing the loupe as close to the eye as possible - which is why we always recommend TTL loupe over flip-ups.
• Fully customised fit: High-end TTL loupes are normally 100% custom-made according to the user’s specifications, including: working distance, prescription, IPD (Inter Pupillary Distance) to ensure superior comfort, sharp vision, excellent ergonomics, and highest level of focus. In contrast, flip-ups are typically one-size-fits-all and lack this level of personalisation.

If you are considering a high-end TTL loupe for yourself, please contact your local ExamVision dealer.

A custom-crafted or personalised loupe from ExamVision means your loupe is individually made by hand, using premium components and tailored specifically to your unique requirements.

From facial features and prescription to eyesight, ergonomics, personal preferences, and working conditions — every aspect is carefully considered during the design and production process of your tailor-made loupes.

The result is an exceptional loupe experience: 100% tailored to your physiology, visual needs, and working routines, ensuring optimal comfort, clarity, and performance throughout your professional day.

Yes, working distance is an important factor when selecting the right loupe. All ExamVision loupes are designed to cover the most common working distances — typically up to 55 cm.

However, for users who require longer working distances — such as taller professionals or those with specific clinical setups — we recommend our Kepler systems, and in particular, the Kepler Advanced. This system offers an extended working distance of up to 69 cm, while maintaining excellent image clarity, depth of field, and optical precision.

For optimal performance at longer distances, Kepler optics are the ideal choice. We always recommend consulting with one of our trained ExamVision dealers, who can guide you in selecting the best solution based on your ergonomic needs and clinical environment.

Yes, ExamVision can basically make loupes for everyone! ExamVision is crafting loupes for individuals without any restrictions based on their prescription. The carrier lens solutions provided are entirely personalised, ensuring an optimal optical outcome for both the oculars and the carrier lenses of your loupes.

ExamVision will incorporate your monofocal or multifocal requirements in carriers seamlessly:

• Monofocal carrier lenses, also called Single Vision lenses, which correct for only one distance;
• Multifocal lenses, also called Progressive lenses, combine multiple optical powers in the same lens, without any visible lines.

Read more about Ultimate optical solutions by ExamVision.

ExamVision always uses hi-index lenses, so we can make your carrier lenses as thin and light as possible. Your ExamVision dealer will recommend the best frame for your prescription, and of course we can also add your prescription in the oculars.

If your eyesight or prescription changes, ExamVision offers full correction of both the oculars and prescription lenses to match your new visual needs.

Rebuild or modify?

As a standard, all ExamVision loupes are made with the possibility of being rebuilt later. Which means that if you should have any prescription changes, changes in eyesight or changes in your working distance or working angle we will be able to offer you a rebuild on your existing loupe.

If we order the new prescription lenses for you in advance, you can send in the loupes, we will make the correction in less than a working week before it is sent back via your local dealer. Your loupes will get a service at the same time!

The Kepler system is a significantly more advanced and complex optical system compared to the Galilean.

One of its standout advantages is the exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness it delivers — a level of clarity that simply cannot be matched by Galilean optics. This precision, however, requires very accurate adjustment, meaning Kepler loupes offer less freedom of movement than Galilean HD, which is known for its flexibility and ease of use.

Kepler Kompakt also features the fine-focus which means that you can manually adjust each ocular just a little, as necessary, to perfect the focus. This ensures the clearest image possible, with excellent depth of field and magnification accuracy.

What sets the Kepler Kompakt apart even further is that it's one of the shortest and lightest Kepler loupes on the market, offering both high-performance optics and all-day comfort.

Read more about our Kepler Kompakt loupe.

The Kepler Reflekt, Kepler Kompakt and Kepler Advanced have a fine-focus feature, which allows you to manually adjust each ocular slightly to fine-tune the focus for each eye.

ExamVision has already set your working distance exactly to your specifications, but the fine-focus enables you to achieve a crystal-clear image and optimal depth of field by making minor adjustments — ensuring the sharpest possible view.

Since no two eyes are exactly alike, even with a fully customised loupe, fine-focus allows you to compensate for subtle differences between your eyes, enhancing clarity and comfort during procedures.

What is fine-focus?

How to adjust the fine-focus

Kepler Advanced is a unique loupe that offers four magnifications in one — allowing you to switch seamlessly between 4.0x, 5.0x, 6.0x, and 7.0x. In essence, it’s like having four Kepler loupes in a single system, providing maximum versatility for advanced procedures.

Kepler Kompakt, by contrast, features a fixed magnification.

While Kepler Kompakt is ideal for specialists seeking high magnification in a lightweight form, the Kepler Advanced is specifically designed for highly experienced loupe users who require maximum flexibility across a variety of procedures.

An adjustable loupe allows the user to switch between different magnification levels within the same loupe — offering flexibility for various procedures without needing multiple systems.

Kepler Advanced is a groundbreaking example of this innovation. It is the world’s only loupe with four built-in magnifications (4.0x, 5.0x, 6.0x, and 7.0x) in a single device.

With its intuitive Turn’N’Click system, you can effortlessly switch between all four magnifications — making it ideal for professionals who require precision, speed, and adaptability in their clinical work.

Hear what Two Dentists/Youtubers have to say about Kepler Advanced when visited ExamVision’s production in Denmark.

Reflective ergo loupes, such as ExamVision’s Kepler Reflekt, are designed to significantly improve posture and reduce strain by encouraging an upright working position — helping to minimise neck and back discomfort during long procedures.

Kepler Reflekt offers several key benefits:

• Customisable declination angles for optimal ergonomic alignment.
• Lightweight and durable construction for all-day comfort.
• Fine-focus adjustment for crystal-clear vision tailored to each eye.

One of the standout advantages of the Kepler Reflekt is its innovative design, recognised with the prestigious Red Dot Product Design Award in 2024. It provides unobstructed peripheral vision — a feature rarely found among other loupe manufacturers. This allows dental and medical professionals to maintain natural awareness of their surroundings, easily interact with patients, locate tools, view x-rays, or communicate with colleagues — all without needing to remove the loupes.

Watch the behind-the-scenes video of how the award-winning Kepler Reflekt was brought to life — and discover why it’s unlike any loupe you've seen before.

When looking for LED light for loupes to use in dentistry or medical applications you should consider more than just aiming for maximum light intensity.
