Loupes Magnification Designs for Vision

[LeagueofLigTies]

Our school is making us start out with 2.5x Designs for Vision loupes, but we have the option to upgrade to a higher magnification within the year. Should I do it, and if so which magnification and option is good? I see they have a few different options like Micro-EF and panoramic. The panoramic loupes seem great.

I got D4V 2.5x, honestly I wish I had done 3.5x. Can you just start with 3.5 instead of 2.5? I think thats much better if possible.

I don’t think so. Faculty is making us start with 2.5

what’s the benefit of going from 2.5 to 3.5?

just can see more and better. would you happen to be at MWU? I think you can request them to switch it to 3.5 earlier.

I don't see much benefit in switching from 2.5 ⇒ 3.5. Starting with 3.5 is totally fine

I started with their 2.5 standard and upgraded to the 3.5 EF micro, cost difference was like $600 for the upgrade and their turnaround was only a couple of weeks. So glad I made the upgrade, once you go from 2.5-->3.5 and then put on a 2.5 it feels like you weren't even using magnification in the first place. Really helps for finishing details with preps in the sim lab.

Thanks! I was debating between EF micro and the panoramic

Both are good, I personally like that with the micro that the length of the scopes doesn't interfere with the face shields that we are now required to wear.

I started with 3.5. Would never go lower.
