A final note..
"In spite of their significant cost, the relatively long learning curve associated with their use, frustrations during use, their occasional need for being replaced and their peculiar appearance to patients, magnifying loupes assist all types of clinical dentists in producing higher-quality dentistry. Seeing better also means decreasing operating time. Properly fitted loupes also can improve posture during operating and reduce muscle pain in the shoulders, neck and back. Working under magnification is useful, and clinicians should give strong consideration to adopting the concept.“
Christensen, J Am Dent Assoc. 2003 Dec;134(12):1647-50.
