One of my best purchases
I've been using loupes made buy a very well known company ever since dental school. A few years ago I had my original pair updated with a new prescription. After the change I was never happy and went back to my original set. Now I've decided to try it again, but I am semi retired now and only work a few days a week and only do examinations. After talking to the Loupe company it was apparent that their service policy is very restrictive and their prices are no longer reasonable. I ordered these loupes from Amazon and I am extremely surprised and pleased. The materials are of reasonably high quality. The range of vision is easy to adjust, and the included clip and hardware allows attachment to prescription frames and they flip-up out of the way. These may not be adequate for detailed procedures but for what I do, they are very cost effective and the work well. I ordered a second pair.

Great for hygiene
I am a hygienist and I wanted to try a less expensive pair of loupes before purchasing a more expensive pair. These do the trick! They only magnify 2.5x, which is perfect for a beginner like me (the higher magnification made me dizzy). The lenses flip up and down, and they have been relatively easy to get used to. The only down side is that they are not the lightest, but not enough for me to complain. Also, the safety strap they came with kept popping off. I bought another one for a few dollars and it works much better. They are amazing for the price! They work well enough that I don’t feel the need to “upgrade” anytime soon.

Good quality for the price
I bought these for bench work but the working distance was just a bit too long for me so I have to return them. But I was pretty impressed with the quality at this price point. The image has a bit of pin cushion distortion at the edges but is fairly sharp and the depth of field is deep enough. The build quality is better than I expected at the price and they came with a very usable storage case. If they had them in a 320mm working distance I'd be exchanging them but they don't. I wouldn't recommend them to a professional that is going to use them hours every day or to someone under about 5'6" as it put's the working distance at the end of your comfortable reach. But for general hobby type use or anywhere you need a longer working distance they provide decent magnification at a great price.

Bad optics
The quality is good for the price but the focal distance is terrible, you have to get your head so close the the object that it makes then useless if you are not working alone and can get the object close to your face

Great loupes for dental hygienist
I have been using these loupes as a dental hygienist for the past 3 months and they are fantastic. Easy to adjust once you get the hang of it and haven't had to adjust since. For the price these can't be beat and work just as well as the $1500 loupes. Even dropped more than once due to the weak strap and they have held up no problem. The only thing that could make these better would be a light, which can easily be purchased separately. All in all these have really aided with posture, back pain, and vision. Definitely recommend.Cons: had to purchase separate eyeglass holder strap as included one slid way too much and dropped my loupes on more than one occasion.Plastic lens on goggle has smudged and gotten tiny scratches (possibly from the drops). However, this hasn't been in nor affected my line of vision.

needs improvement
these loupes are good for the price. it's made well but the plastic materials are not the highest qualtiy. i love the flip up option. the magnification is crisp, however, i wish the working distance came in different lengths. the 16.5 working distance is too short for me, but i can make it work. i am usually comfortable at a distance of 21. i also would have liked the lenses to angulate more downward to prevent the neck from having to bend too much. as an RDH having custom loupes are ideal, but these are definitely a good option if you do not want to spend thousands of $ on orascoptics. the only thing that really annoys me with these loups are the straps, they slip out of the arms too easily and my loupes have fallen to the ground 2x already and I've only had them for a week, luckily they havent shattered! to resolve this issue, i've used the coils (meant to hold light wires) and wrapped them around the bands to secure them (see pics).

Don't let price fool you. These are actually great, especially for the price.
I bought these with the intention of giving them to my 7 yo daughter since I wear surgical loupes for my work... I am amazed at how good these are. I bought some more to use as back ups. My loupes are in the range of $1500 and are better than these but only a LITTLE BIT better. I use loupes for surgical procedures in my profession and I have used these $20 loupes many times and they are great. I actually prefer the cheap ones for some procedures because of a wider field of view and more light gets through. These loupes are well worth the money and comparable to my $1500 pair. Makes me wonder why "good" loupes and lights are so expensive. I also bought a cheap light, same thing.. not 100% as good as my $900 light but VERY close, FAR better than the price would indicate.... $20 vs $900 and 95% to 99% as good. I ended up buying many of them to use for back ups.Conclusion.. $40 for surgical loupes with head lamp vs over $2000 for a "good" set.... ALMOST as good except for shorter battery life (lasts 4 - 5 hours) on the headlamp so just buy an extra battery pack and switch out after one gets low.

Better off getting reading glasses
These have such a small field of view and a narrow range of focus. You're much better off getting a pair of strong reading glasses.
