Great review and very accurate description of pros and cons. Mine have debonded more than once and the fogging I found to be persistent and very frustrating. I’ve now switched to Bilumix - fixed magnification but a much better light with no shadows. Still has some design issues with a weakness in the adjustable head band but I’m happier with these now. Might also be worth a review in future.
I have one. I requested to have my declination angle at the maximum angle, which they told me was 35 degrees. When it was first delivered to me, I measured the angle and came out as 20. They screwed up and I had to return it to repair. It's a night and day difference with 35 degrees and the default 20. I see 26-28 patients a day and wear this for 8 hours straight. The neck strain is definitely there after a long procedure. 2 long procedures after another, you need a break and stretch a lot. The strain is definitely there. I've tried many other loupes. Clarity on orascoptic wins out of almost everything else. It's why I got it in the first place. The fogging is there too, but it's just in the morning. First patient. I start by spraying air between my face and loupes and the fogging goes away. I also wipe my loupes with anti fogging glasses wipes on a weekly basis. I did hesitate to return it for a 4.5x but I'm happy now. 3x for almost everything for me and 4x and 5x can be a godsend for endo sometimes. I use 4x for deep resto as well. 😊
Hey, thank you for sharing your experiences. Yes I agree the 35 degree declination angle does make a different, I would imagine the neck strain would be significantly worse otherwise... They are great. And that's a good tip I'll forward that onto some colleagues 👍🏻
You're welcome. Do you mean the Panoramic loupes from Designs for Vision? I've contacted the company here in the UK (Lemonchase) to try them, but they're not keen on a review, unlike other companies 🤷🏽♂️👀 so I can't comment on the quality of their loupes. Which orascoptic loupes are you looking to get?
Hey, thank you for your comment. I'm currently using the Lumadent light attached with these which work great and last for many hours. I may upload a video on these
Hmm... Orascoptic now have the eyezoom max version which is just 2 magnifications but probably more useful. I'd like to get my hands on them to give them a go
I use this model and have done for the last 4 years or so. I tried the eyezoon max as a demo and did not like it. Their thinking is that most clinicians use the 3 and the 5 and not the 4x zoom. I love my eyezooms and wouldn't change a thing
@@sambo1455what didn’t you like about eyezoom max? I’m in between deciding on the max and normal eyezoom. These will be my first pair of loupes after being a dentist for 10 years

That is very interesting, I will look to see if I can get my hands on a pair and review accordingly. Thank you for sharing
I am going to get this beast next month, kindda nice to see your video and your POV on this loops. Thanks for the informative experiences!
You're welcome!
I'm sure you will enjoy using them once you get them. Let me know how you get on with them a few months down the line👍🏻

Thanks for sharing. Any reviews on the Design for vision loupes?
Also how much was the final declination angle.
Thanks for the insightful review. Do you find that you switch between the magnification often?
Hi,
Yes I often switch between the magnifications 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing. I am a cardiac surgeon, wanting to upfrade my loupes. Have you come across any reviews on panaromic DVI vs Orascoptic?
You're welcome.

@@dentalreviewsYT Yes the Panaromic Loupes from Designs for vision. Planning to get the same.
i am not a dentist yet i managed to watch 5 minutes
Oh, I'm glad😅
Thank you for these informative, honest insights. How do you find the light and how long does it last?

Loved this review! I also found a similar issue with the loops but overall a great product which I wouldn't replace for a like for like!
Would you recommend them in 2024?
Hmm... Orascoptic now have the eyezoom max version which is just 2 magnifications but probably more useful. I'd like to get my hands on them to give them a go
@@dentalreviewsYT you don't think variable magnifications are more useful ?
The eyezoom max is variable magnification, 3.5x and 6.5x
I use this model and have done for the last 4 years or so. I tried the eyezoon max as a demo and did not like it. Their thinking is that most clinicians use the 3 and the 5 and not the 4x zoom. I love my eyezooms and wouldn't change a thing
