Dave Juliani We all remember the day right? The first time we actually looked at anything in the mouth through loupes. My first thought was, “Holy Crap! What have I been doing to my patients teeth all of these years?” About twenty years ago I got my first (and only) set of loupes, a through the lens 2.5 power that made everything clear and simple when working in the mouth. Over the past six to nine months that has started to change. As I dive deeper into my forties, I have been noticing (among many other things) my vision starting to slide. The 2.5 power was now not so clear and I was left wondering where to go with my next set of loupes, 3, 4, 5, or even 7 power. How long until my next slip into a greater power IF I buy a weaker magnification than needed? Well, Orascoptic has the solution: the EYEZOOM Adjustable Magnification Loupe! Recently released, these loupes actually adjust to 3, 4, and 5 power using a twist mechanism on each lens. You can also order EYEZOOM with any of the Orascoptic LED light systems. At $2995, these will save almost $6000 if three sets were needed down the road! The Konica/ Minolta lenses are easy to adjust and care for, as well as surprisingly lightweight. Thank you Orascoptic! Possibly the best new technology in my office since Omnicam.
