Try the search option; loupes have been beaten to death here. There are lots of threads talking about brands/preferences etc.

First decide the magnification. 2.5x is the norm, however 3.0 and 3.5x are better.

I personally wear 4.0x loupes which I think are amazing. It gives you enough clarity to do any procedure from a filling to endo. I also have 2.5x but never wear them.

Next decide if you want flips or embedded. I wear flips. I like to switch from magnification to no-mag to assess my field of vision.

In my opinion the best company for loupes is Zeiss. The clarity of their prisms is by far the best. Loupes are a lifetime investment, so get the best. Other brands that are good are Designs for visions and Orascoptic.

Hope this helps.
