Magnification Levels

Choose the appropriate magnification level based on your specific needs:
TTL Loupes Magnification Options

2.5x Galilean: Ideal for most first-time users and general use

3.3x Galilean: Ideal for practitioners accustomed to wearing loupes who require increased magnification.
Flip-Up Loupes Magnification Options

3.3x: Only magnification is available for the Flip-Up Loupes. However, these loupes allow you to adjust the pupillary distance, making them suitable for sharing among multiple users. They are available in three working distances: 37 cm, 42 cm, and 47 cm.

Step 2

Loupe Measurements:

Loupe Working Distance (WD) Measurement

To ensure proper focus alignment, measure your working distance using the following method:

For angled loupes:

  • The person being measured should be sitting upright, looking straight ahead. This ensures proper alignment for accurate measurement.

For TTL loupes & flip-up loupes:

  • The person being measured should be sitting upright with the neck slightly angled down throughout the measurement process.

Tape Measurement: The assistant should use a flexible tape measure to measure the distance between the corner of one eye and the patient's teeth.

Perform multiple measurements to ensure accuracy, accounting for any slight variations.

Professional Measurement:

  1. Visit any local optician or eyewear retailer equipped with a pupilometer.
  2. Request a PD measurement taken at "infinity" (distance) for precise fitting.
  3. Inform the optician of your need for PD measurement for surgical or dental loupes.
Single and Dual PD Measurements

Self-Measurement:

  1. If unable to visit an optician, you can measure your PD at home with the help of a friend or family member.
  2. Stand approximately 4 feet away from the person assisting you.
  3. Hold a ruler horizontally across your nose.
  4. Have your assistant take a picture directly in front of you with the flash on.
  5. Perform multiple measurements for accuracy and take the average.

Ensuring an accurate PD measurement will contribute to the optimal performance and comfort of your customized TTL loupes.

Why are my loupes blurry?

Blurry vision usually comes down to a quick fix, not a defect. Here are the most common causes:

1. Alignment or Fit
If your loupes aren’t properly aligned to your eyes, clarity can drop instantly. Even slight shifts in positioning can affect your field of view.

2. Working Distance Mismatch
If your posture or working position has changed, your preset working distance may no longer match how you’re using them.

3. Prescription Compatibility
If you wear corrective lenses, your loupes may need fine-tuning to work seamlessly with your prescription.

What to do next:
We recommend a quick adjustment session with our team—we can usually resolve this fast and get your clarity back to optimal.

Contact us for a fitting check or adjustment guidance.
Can the working distance be adjusted later?

Your working distance is custom-set during production to match your posture and workflow for optimal ergonomics and clarity.

Because of this, it isn’t adjustable on the fly, but we’ve got you covered if your needs change.

  • Adjustment service available: $120
  • Requires sending the loupes in for recalibration
  • Turnaround includes full re-optimization and return shipping

This ensures your loupes continue to deliver the same precision and comfort they were designed for.

Not sure what your ideal working distance is? We can help you dial it in before you order.
Can I use loupes if I have an eye condition (e.g. strabismus)?

Loupes rely on precise binocular alignment, meaning both eyes must work together to create a single, clear, magnified image. Certain eye conditions can interfere with this process and may impact performance. Some conditions that may affect loupe compatibility include:

  • Strabismus (eye misalignment) – can make it difficult to merge the two optical images into one
  • Amblyopia (lazy eye) – reduced vision in one eye can limit depth perception and clarity
  • Severe astigmatism or high refractive error – may exceed optical customization limits
  • Diplopia (double vision) – can be intensified when using magnification systems
  • Binocular vision disorders – issues with eye coordination or tracking

Because of these factors, standard loupe configurations may not deliver optimal clarity or comfort for individuals with these conditions. That said, every case is different.

We recommend consulting with your optometrist or ophthalmologist first, then connecting with our team. We’re happy to review your situation and help determine the best path forward.
Do you have a limitation on prescription (Rx) lenses?

Yes - prescription ranges must fall within a certain threshold to maintain optical clarity and performance.

  • Combined SPH + CYL range: within +10 to -10

This ensures your loupes deliver sharp, distortion-free magnification without compromising comfort or accuracy.

If your prescription falls near or outside this range, our team can help review your options and recommend the best solution.

Send us your Rx and we’ll guide you through the best setup.
