Why do we need to use loupes?
1. Improve Vision
1. Improve Vision
Wearing loupes improves clarity, focus, and visibility.
Wearing loupes chairside improves clarity, focus, and visibility that allows the clinician to identify conditions before they progress. Once missed by the naked eye, the clinician is now equipped with enhanced vision to detect disease earlier than he or she would have before. Additionally, the improved vision enables the clinician to have a better procedural outcome.
2. Improved Posture & Reduced Back Pain
Dental clinicians often experience back, neck and shoulder damage from prolonged poor posture brought on by struggling to see the patient’s mouth. Clinicians working without magnification tend to lean towards the patient or sit in positions that allow them to get closer to the patient – but this typically involve twisting the torso in unnatural ways. Clinicians that wear loupes tend to have a more upright posture, which puts less stress and strain on the rest of the body. Having the ability to see the mouth more closely will increase the comfort of both the patient and the clinician.
3. Reduced Eye Strain
Eyestrain is a common condition that arises when eyes get tired from intense use. The symptoms can be unpleasant, resulting in fatigue, sore eyes and headaches at the end of the day. Working in the dental field, clinicians are required to concentrate for long periods of time, often causing them to exert effort when focusing on the small details they see on the teeth. Dental loupes reduce eyestrain, magnifying all aspects of the mouth; ensuring eye muscles have no need to strain. For maximum eye comfort, many dental loupes are fitted with a light; providing the ultimate user experience, simultaneously illuminating and magnifying the oral cavity.
