- 🦷🧠🤓 Dental loupes are extremely important to our ability to perform good work in a dental clinic. Getting that much closer to your patient is really important, and these loupes are an investment in your future. In this video, I discuss the three major things you need to consider while buying a pair of loupes. I discuss Orascoptic, the company I swear by, in detail. This video should be an informative buying guide for anyone who wants to get into a good pair of surgical loupes!!

The example of the loops view with blurred out sides was a nice touch. Great vid man I'll keep Orascoptic in mind for sure.
Yeah that came out pretty cool! Thought it would help a bit to visualize because it's hard to describe. Thanks for the comment!
Currently saving up some bucks to but a dental loupe, and seeing your video was great to giving me overview. And dental loupe here in my country isnt common, except for endodontist but im very much motivated to buy since it’ll help for the best treatment for patients. Cant wait to have one👍🏻
Your video quality is mind blowing,your channel is very under-rated.
So appreciate this video, current hygiene student! Very through and informative. God bless!
Awesome!! I'm so happy to hear this video is helpful! Thanks for your comment!
Hey Stephen! I like your videos, and this one is my favourite, it helped my a lot to select my own loupe! Stay motivated, study hard, it worth powder and shot! I believe that you will be a great dentist dude! Best regards from a young dentist from Hungary!
Thank you for this comment my friend!! I appreciate the love and support! Keep up the hard work yourself!

You’re the best, you help me out so much!!!
I'm flattered thank you for your comment, and I'm so happy to help!!
Was deciding on which loupes and after watching this I’m definitely buying a pair of Orascoptic for school. I’m in my second semester for dental hygiene college and hearing you explain the magnification options was so useful
Yes this is so great to hear!! Thank you for commenting and I’m so glad I could help! Best of luck with school and enjoy your loupes!
I am going to dental school very soon...Thanks for inspiring

Once I get admission in dental school I am going to buy one from the same company!!!
It is always so.....gud to hear from you!!!
They are a great investment! You won't regret it. Thanks for the comment!
I smiled when he said first year dental student. We only srarted working debtistry in 3rd grade :)
Hello, how about the Orascoptic EyeZoom? It has an adjustable magnification of 3x, 4x, and 5x. Do you think it is a good idea to buy it?
Starting at UTHSC in just a few weeks! Thanks for the great info, trying to do my research before going in to try on.
Fellow Ray!! Welcome my friend! Thanks for checking out the video and I hope it helped!
Hi .. My husband just purchased a pair of loops and we can't figure out how to charge the battery. The adapter doesn't plug into a wall, it has prongs. 🤔 Do you know how to charge the battery by chance. Thanks!! 😊
Can you please make a video of what you need to do to enter dental school please(love your videos)
Absolutely! I could do sort of a step by step guide that is a great idea! I'll get to work on that in the Notion!
The video quality is 💯
Thank you my friend. This one came out great. I wish I had the time I could really do a lot with these vids. I just want to remain consistent
Hello
I have some questions about DDS
1. Is it possible to take admission in dds course aftar completing years dental hygiene course?
2. What academic qualifications should be required for dds course?
Thank you.
I'm not related to medicine at all, but came here because I'm a visually handicapped programmer who also likes to repair and fiddle with electronics. So, such magnifying spectacles would be really helpful for me. I have various loupes and cheap jeweller/watchmaker glasses but those have a very small focus distance, about 5cm, which is very inconvenient when soldering. Also, I have cheaper 3.5x dentist glasses with Galilean optical system, but 3.5x is too weak for me, I would need 5, 6 or even 7. So, I guess, Keplerian optical system glasses could work for me, but those are somewhat too expensive to buy just for testing out. The cheapest ones are 200 EUR, and I have no place to actually try them to see how they work for me, especially now with Covid etc.
Anyway, thanks for the video, it helped to know a bit more how these glasses work in practice.
Thank you for this comment!! I am always super interested to hear about how people in different profession can utilize loupes to improve their working conditions!
Thanks for the video! Is there a reason you picked your frame instead of the sporty frame?
Thanks for the question! Mostly just a stylistic choice! I liked the way these frames looked and also when I tried them on they felt perfect!
Where to buy this frm? Pp?
great video
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Did you check out Q-optics? I hear a lot of great things about their loupes when it comes to field of view.
I haven't! My school has a partnership with Orascoptic so that was the route I went. My orascoptic loupes are much nicer than some of the other ones Ive worn however. Every pair of loupes is going to concentrate your vision in a circle. It's really just about learning to work with it!
If you wear prescription glasses already, is that something that would affect your magnification choice?
I should have mentioned this! Orascoptic gives you the option to put your subscription into the loupes or you could just opt to wear contacts with them. I’m not sure what the majority of the people in my class who needed that went with. I do know the prescriptions obviously added a decent amount to the total cost!
I have laziness in the left eye due to the deviation of the cornea and my eyesight in it is 1/10, while the right one is intact...Do the lenses fit me?
This unfortunately is not something I can answer! I would recommend that you speak with a representative from a company like Orascoptic and inquire about receiving loupes fitted to your face and eyes!
Plzz I have a question .. If my vision is good and normal 6/6, should I take measurements before the order ? If yes, where should I take it ?
Absolutely! I would visit Orascoptic’s website and go through their ordering process! They should have an option somewhere in there to get your measurements. If you want to be safe, you can talk to a representative (also just contact them through their website) and they will tell you exactly how to get your measurements so that the loupes are perfect!
Hey man random question but what kinda Mac do you suggest I get for dental school next year? I was thinking the newest MacBook Pro but should I upgrade the ram and the memory all the way? I’m not trying to spend a total fortune on it but if you think it would be worth it let me know! Thanks bro
Yeah man thanks for the question! I would honestly go M1 MacBook Air. The M1 chip is amazing by all accounts and the air is a great machine for a better price!
Also as far as upgrading goes, it depends on what you’re doing with it! If it’s just for school, 256 GB should be more than enough memory and stock ram is a-ok
@@stephenraydentist Awesome man thanks for the advice! Good luck as you continue D1 year man!
@@zachquinonez5226 Thank you Zach!!
thank you
Thank YOU!!
Are there loupes available for miopic glasses?
Thanks for the comment! I’m not entirely sure about this one but I do remember there being a lot of options for glasses wearers! This would be a great question for Orascoptic themselves.
i got a pair of 3.5x oroscoptics and im loving them
They’re amazing!! It truly changes dentistry! Thanks for the comment!
Hey you're welcome stephen
Hi! You stated a higher or lower magnification depending on your height. How tall are you if you don’t mind me asking?
Yeah thanks for the question! I'm 6'2" and I cant remember my working length but those are all things your loupes fitter will help you with!
I've never seen any dentist wear these in practice
You must be going to some old school dentists!
Man, Orascoptic has terrible google reviews.
I have never had any trouble with my loupes, but that is just my experience! I do plan to make an update to this video to talk more about the loupes!
