Is the view from both eye pieces merged and perfectly aligned or do you get double vision sometimes? Thank you

Chris kets have fun in The lexus!

Doctor is it compatible for glasses person?

Its almost like using a microscope

Thanks for your review. I just ordered a pair of the 5.0 loupes LumiDent Ergoprisms and your review is very helpful. I’ve been practicing for 38 years and my hygienist got these about two weeks ago and it was strange seeing her and it was strange to see her in such an upright position but she said how much less her neck and shoulders hurt. I had to try them. As an evaluator for Gordon Christensen, these had high ratings, but there is a learning curve. It certainly worth a try.

Price please

Doctors of Dental Surgery that learned how to do micro surgery on teeth can definitely get over the learning curve of ergonomic loupes. The added years to your career as well as your neck and shoulder health are worth the week or two it takes to get used to it. I'd recommend folding laundry and doing dishes at home with the loupes on to speed up the comfort level and the learning curve

They recently launched ergo air which has less weight and lower fov would u recommend that more or should i just stay with the normal ergoprisms ?

I'm sure they are good but you miss one very important thing, the peripheral vision.

Thank you for making this detailed and descriptive video!!

What magnification do you recommend for doing regular scaling cleaning for an ergo loupes. I am using traditional loupes with 3.5x , my field of view is about 3-4 tooth.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you think they will suit a dentist with history of neck surgery (ACDF)?

I can't find thorough reviews and I just recently placed an order. Waiting for the fit kit to arrive. Thanks for making this and for the quality! I especially appreciated the real video footage through the loupe lens. Super helpful.

I tried them and I think the technology is " NOT THERE " yet.

thanks for your sharing. just a long shot, do you know how to order it from hong kong

Hey doctor! What do you do when you need to treat a patient who can’t lay all the way back, like a pregnant patient? I have the ergo loupes (student) and I’m wondering what one would do in this situation

Great review, Chris

great video!!! simple and informative and helpful Dental hygienist for 21 years now..and have been wearing Loupes/light for 7 years of my career...should have been doing it sooner...all dental should wear loupes and use light....it is a game changer...and now I could not work without them......just had rep come talk about these....I need loupe upgrade ...going to give these a try ...and if I don't not like cant adjust ..I will exchange for their traditional loupes....but I think have that neck alignment could end up being game changer...that is where I notice my most discomfort from 21 years of dentistry ...my neck.

If you snack on nuts, will that produce acid or no? Thx

I have a lot of problems adapting to them. Wearing them for about 5 months and I can't see anything. The only reason I'm using them is because they included my prescription on it. I will be calling the rep soon.

Great review and appreciate the details but surprisingly you didn’t mention the PRICE :)

Hi, I have not used loupes before and I am considering getting my first pair (7 years into practice). Did you have any headaches when you started using them? How did you find them working on upper arch? How did the focusing distance adjustment work? Did you have to refocus every time you moved from upper/lower arches? Thank you for your video.

I got refractives from another company. x4. Within minutes I got used to them. Don't worry about learning curves. They r easy. I can't comment on higher magnifications though.

I just received my pair and you are right on the mark with your review. The learning curve is steep and at first I wasn't sure I could make the transition. I got some tips from the reps and that helped. The side shields are terrible but my DFV ones fit nicely. The magnication is a bit less than expected but field of view is bigger. It's nice you can adjust the working distance but it should have some kind of locking device.

What's the price?

I just spent a couple days with these loupes. I was going to send them back because I just couldn't get oriented with them. After watching this video I may give it a couple more days to try. The learning curve is very steep though.

Thank you Dr. Strandburg for a very resourceful video. I am a D1 student in my second semester, wanted to know if you Would recommend the lumadent loupes for someone that is just starting their dental career. I had just purchased regular loupes from Q topics with a 4.5x magnification, I still see myself bending my neck down. Also now designs for vision just released their infinity VUE loupes, which might have some similar characteristics to the lumadent ergo prisms in regards to the declination angle but the downside is that the highest magnification goes up to 3.5x. Thank you for your time.

Great overall review. I just received mine and have noted the same steep learning curve with some of the disorientation, but I am certainly a fan of these loupes thus far. Thank you again for pointing out the pros and cons. It would definitely be great for the working distance to lock into place. I actually marked and “X” and “O” with permanent marker on mine at opposite ends of each so that way I can easily keep track of how many turns I needed to focus at my working distance for both the right and left side respectively. That way, in case the loupe is out of position and twisted at all, I would more easily be able to tell if things shifted away from my preferred normal positioning.

I got these and I hate them. I've had to send them back 3 times already (taking months) and they're still not right. It's blurry around the edges (which seems to be a limitation of the design), the lenses don't line up, and it's LESS clear than my significantly lower magnification traditional loupes. Not only that, but I actually had MUCH MORE neck pain using them before they adjusted to bring the working length closer. I gave them 3-4 weeks of use before making a judgement each time just in case it was due to a learning curve (I adapt very quickly but thought it would be best to give it plenty of time to see). I adapted fine, the image just never improved. If you are very particular about getting your margins to the micrometer, these may not be for you. Bottom line, buyer beware.

I love my ErgoPrism loupes!! Definitely a game changer!!

Thanks for the review Doc! I sent it to my dental friends 🦷 so they can check it out too. Have you tried any other brands of deflection loops? I heard Design for Vision, Pentax, and Hero loops have their versions.
