Loupes Review | Ergo Loupes - Angled Loupes by Orascoptic

In this video I review my new ergo loupes by Orascoptic and go over the pros and cons of these loupes never ending quest for the best loupes on the market. For me in Oculoplastic surgery these loupes take a lot of the strain off my neck and upper back while I’m operating all day.

Hi Doc, I’m a pediatric dentist and have used traditional loupes for years, from 2.6 to 6x.
I retired for about 4 years and now back to seeing patients part time.
I’m looking at a bunch of ergo loupes. I am going to do a comparison also. I have not looked at the Orascoptic yet but historically their selling point was letting on a lot of light so brighter field.
I’ll see them on Monday (Sat now).
I like the Q optic and Admetec loupes I’ve looked at and a cool company from Denmark, ExamVision who has an ergo loupe that has a shape such that you can look over the top.
Thanks for your work putting your content together in the spare 20 seconds you have to yourself each day!😂
Best, Bob

Welcome back Zac!!! Hopefully you are still working out reguarly 💪 ... hope to see old style day in the life vids again!

[nikobu]

thanks for the video! I think that the magnification might feel slightly lower than 3.5 for you because the working distance is greater than with conventional loupes.

Hi Dr. just curious does the ergo ones tend to cause more fatigue for your eye or does it have any bad influence on your eye sign for prolong wear? Thanks

[anae.]

I was just listening to a podcast from brush with Brit RDH and they were talking about how the ergos increase your working distance a little bit so a 3.5 in ergos is not the same as a 3.5 in regular loupes. They were saying that a 4x mag on ergos feels like a 2.5 in regular loupes. Hopefully that makes sense. Maybe you need a 4.5 or 5x magnification since your eyes are now further away from your working area than they were with the old loupes.

Hey Zac, I’m an ophthalmology resident about to start my PGY-2 year. Most people at my program get their own TTL loupes. Do you think the 3.5 ergo loupes would work as general/all around pair for use on plastics rotations and on call? I met with the Orascoptic rep and really enjoyed the positioning and peripheral vision or the ergo loupes vs traditional

[bblv]

I agree that dental loupes are great and better priced than designs for vision loupes. I actually like the non-customized cheaper loupes (~$300) online with adjustable PD and tilt that I can change at any time. Also the personal headlights are great for DCR, but most ORs have light cable headlamps so I never needed my own across multiple hospital systems.

Thanks for the great video! Can I ask what you liked about Orascoptic over DFV and Surgitel, aside from how the frame looked/felt? Were the optics at Orascoptic better?

[kbruin]

Awesome video. What camera did you use to film this? the quality is amazing.

[zhouyang]

You need to try q optics. Same quality in vision but lighter in weight. I have the Orascoptic mini zoom and the q optic 4.5 ergo pros. Safe to say that the q optics feel more modern

@Doctor Eyeball
Hi Where do buy scrub caps from ? They are really cool

[antonyandthesea_]

Dear Doctor
I had a blunt force injury (a string hit my right eye ball, only the eye ball). Ophtalmologist examined my eye: no damage. However, since then (16 days ago) I have developed a constant pressure in the right temple, eye pain and pain radiation from eye to back head. The Ophtalmologist could not explain why. Could the schock wave have irritated/damaged the trigeminal or any other nerve causing me these symptoms?

[shahidm]

I just got mine too, but i have double vision, ie instead of seeing one circle i see 2 circles just joined together, and left eye is blurry (when i close my right eye).. still trying them out but wondering if you had any tips or similar issues. Maybe i need new measurements..

[Scousedoc]

Any thoughts of operating with dystonia with ergo loupes? I also own 3 pairs of loupes altogether

[kordianceglarz]

Are ergo loupes safe for your eyes? As a dentist if i were to use them all day all along would it be safe?

[openplz]

Bought 5.0 ergos today. I like tge 7 gm corded light also. $3840 vhicago midwi.yer meeting price that rep.said he could.do anytime. 67.2 gms. Optics are not cantilevered far out like surgitel, which also look bulkier and I would assume heavier, and feel.heavier due to cantilevered weight. Tried both on today and orascopics all the way!

[billykilcoyne]

Ergo loupes don't have the same mag that your regular loupes have because as the working distance increases your magnification drops.

[rgamer]

Yo wsg bro, not gonna lie I am becoming a senior next year and I wanted to let you know some stuff, I want to be a doctor I think and be either a neonatologist, radiologist and most interested in ophthalmology but my family doesn’t support me in becoming a doctor and say I should become a plumber even though I am not good at it and don’t like it plz tell me what you think, thanks

[AjayandreasHello]

Hi doctor I think you get so much attention if you look at a ufc legend who has an eye problem…he’s currently as of today Monday doing a podcast and hes complaining about his eyes.

I think you will get so much exposure if you watch his videos and see the difference or what u may think it is in terms of his condition.

He has over a million subscribers and he’s a ufc legend called Chael sonnen

Right now the interview is live so wait
For at least twenty four hours when the video is uploaded I’m not sure what minute it is but he takes his sunglassses off and explains he can’t see properly.
It will be under Ariel Helwani chael
Sonnen interview.

I genuinely believe your Chanel
Will
Get so much exposure.


Please also if it
Is something you can figure out say thanks to ajay at least I get some small credit. And he will
Most definitely credit you.
