A Life-Changing Loupe
With a patent-pending ergonomic design, ErgoPrism loupes help clinicians practice smarter
After stumbling across an ad for LumaDent’s ErgoPrism loupes, Dr. Mark Fernandez thought they sounded too good to be true. It
wasn’t until one of his practice partners started a risk-free trial period using the eyewear that his interest was truly piqued.
“As I asked him more questions about his loupes, I decided to do a trial period with ErgoPrism, too,” Dr. Fernandez said. "Knowing what I know now, it’s amazing to me that I’d pass up the opportunity to at least give these loupes a try.”
Madly impressed with how ErgoPrism alleviated his chronic neck and back pain, as well as muscle strain and spasms, he has stood by them ever since. The loupes were equally acclaimed by other clinicians, who gave them a score of 4.7 out of 5 in a recent DPS product review.
Optics and Ergonomics
A DPS Best Product, ErgoPrism loupes are designed to ensure practicing clinicians work in a neutral, relaxed, upright position with edge-to-edge clarity on all magnifications. Inside the lenses, an advanced roof pentaprism design gives loupe wearers a wide field of view and ergonomic angle.
“The typical work posture with traditional loupes requires a particular neck and back tilt, and that position is held procedure after procedure, day after day,” Dr. Fernandez noted. “The obvious ergonomic advantage with ErgoPrism loupes is working with a healthy posture. As far as field of view, the 4.3x magnification is more than adequate for me.”
ErgoPrism loupes can be ordered in 3.3x, 4.3x, 5.0x, and 6.0x Air magnifications, with options for Rx-compatible lenses across specific frame types. All lenses have anti-scratch, anti-reflective, and anti-fog coatings to eliminate fuzziness and dull colors.
“I keep the focal length set to the default for procedures on posterior teeth, but it's also adjustable—a great feature when I know I need to do a procedure on an anterior tooth,” Dr. Fernandez said. “I can quickly adjust the focal length to keep the focus on those teeth at the onset of the procedure.”
Embrace Change Over Consistency
Since each pair of compact, lightweight ErgoPrism loupes is custom-made to fit every clinician using state-of-the-art digital measuring technology, the declination angle varies with each order to accommodate different working distances. This helps maximize ergonomics by reducing clinicians’ eye and body strain.
“It saddens me to talk to colleagues, both younger and older, who dismiss the chance to try different loupes out of fear that they won't be able to adjust. I know many people have difficulty adjusting to change in general because they like consistency, even if that consistency is challenging,” Dr. Fernandez explained. “I honestly don’t think I would be able to continue practicing dentistry if I had to switch back to traditional loupes. Making the change to ErgoPrism loupes has been life-changing for me.”
