I'm a strong supporter of the view that it's better not trying to save money when it comes to your health. This is what I urge my patients to do. Therefore, when choosing loupe magnifiers, I decided to adhere to the same principle.
I have an issue with my vision, so I decided that if I were to choose loupes, they should be individually fitted and with high-quality glasses so that neither my eyes nor the quality of my work would suffer.
I chose the brand, which, according to most colleagues, is the best on the market for magnifying loupes - ExamVision.
It is important for me to see the bigger picture when doing preparations, so I do not always use optics. I put on loupes whenever I need to do micro-corrections.
Optics help when there is minimal bleeding during preparation, when you need to see the structure of the tooth tissue - where the filling begins, where it ends, if there's any tooth decay or any kind of filling defect. There are procedures that you can’t do adequately without magnification: the formation of a ledge, the quality control of a mold, polishing.
It is very important that there's proper lighting. It allows you to see more. ExamVision has excellent lights that provide a bright, uniform spot with the right temperature and no colour distortion.
