Before* you graduate. Take advantage of that student pricingI have Q-optics 3.5x non-prismatic, coupled with LumaDent light. Pretty good for dental school. Maybe I will upgrade to 4.5x when I graduate.

2) Whats up with the dental lights? Why do they cost so damn much? Is there something special about them or should I buy one of those $30-50 Loupe light kits I see on amazon and just clip it onto my pair?
I feel like I'm only a student, 2.5x should work fine for my 1st year of dental school. I can drop big money on loupes once I'm doing more advanced stuff in school right? I got this pair for free which is the best price ever for a poor student...
Nice! Do you like 4.5x? Did you ever wish you had lower mag?Finally pulled the trigger on the lumadent airlux light to pair with my 4.5x q optics, feels good manView attachment 289035
The 4.5x is nice. I imagine I could deal with a lower mag but I wouldn't want to. I can perfectly see a quadrant as is. Best part of q optics is how light they are, which allows me to put a wireless light on them so I don't have to deal with wiresNice! Do you like 4.5x? Did you ever wish you had lower mag?
It's very practical. I tried my fiance's lumadent unilux but didn't like how the wire kept fidgeting with my head, especially when looking around and talking with classmates/faculty. I could probably put up with it for a few months, but constantly adjusting the wire every day would irk me long term. Swapping batteries is fast and one is always charging when the other is in use. I don't feel any discomfort after a few hours, but that depends on how sensitive your nose is to weightHi @BasicG, nice idea with wireless light. How practical did you find that? Since it last about three times less than wired lights (10 h vs 3 h on max). Any discomfort from wearing it for a few hours?

Warm light makes colors look a bit more natural and has less blue light reflecting off of the teeth, which should help your eyes in the long run. 21k lux is plenty bright, I used the 50k setting on the unilux and thought that was too muchNice! So the entire light is 17 grams?!
It says it Producing 21,000 LUX, whereas for wired ones is 60,000 LUX. Does this make a difference?
Also, I am thinking about the warm brightness option? which one did you get?
No wobble. Just line the battery plug with the light and they fit snugHow stable is the light attached to the loupe? Do you notice any wobbling whatsoever?
100%, after getting used to loupes, cannot work without them, you feel blindHe meant like you wouldn’t be able to work without loupes. Not going back down magnification. He works without them
Thats what im currently using, its been amazing so far. I feel bad for the people that got 2.5x3.5x Orascoptic HDL lenses. Hands down the best in the game
Hi! I'm thinking of buying Q Optics, are you satisfied with your loupes and service? Did you try their light? why are you changing to lumadent? Hppy to hear recommendations.Finally pulled the trigger on the lumadent airlux light to pair with my 4.5x q optics, feels good manView attachment 289035
Hi! Thanks for the input. How long have you had them? Do you have Q optics light? I'm debating between 3.5 and 4. Met with representative and it was impossible to see the difference with the samples she has, they are very far off my interpupillary distance, can't see a thing.4.0 prism q-optics = awesome! Pricy...but I’m very happy with the purchase!
Very useful information, thanks. Very important question for me- I also need a prescription insert, I am afraid if I try to see from the side of the loupe, that the insert is not going to reach and I won't be able to see through the sides of the glass (for example, if you want to see an xray or write something without having to take off the loupes), have you ever felt that when you see from the side that you don't have your prescription or worse that you see the line where the insert ends? I love their sports frame but because of that I was considering their regular glasses. Thank you for your input, been looking for someone with prescription insert.A couple of my classmates returned their other brand loupes and got Q-optics 4.0x after they saw mine.
I didn't want a lot of stress on my neck so I was looking for the lightest loupes but that can still deliver a good field of view and magnification. I tried out pretty much all the major companies and Q-optics was the lightest for me and offered a good in between 3.5x and 4.0x with the opportunity to upgrade. I also wear prescription glasses and not contacts and Q-optics prescription clip on is nice and easy to switch out if I ever go to contacts or lasik. I honestly so far have not seen much different with 3.5x and 4.0x. I can see the whole arch with the 4.0x

Thank you for your quick response! Now I have to decide between the sports frame with prescription insert or regular frame with prescription, doing more research. Thanks again.I have had them for about 1 semester. I paired up my q-optics with a lumadent light (ProLUX)...very happy! I went back and forth between 3.5 vs 4.0 and I do not regret getting the 4.0.
Yeah I'm satisfied with them. They're lightweight and allow me to see the quadrant I'm working in. I had to send them in to get the declination angle increased, but it was free and the turnaround time was fast. I went with a lumadent light because they offer a wireless option while q optics doesn'tHi! I'm thinking of buying Q Optics, are you satisfied with your loupes and service?

Hi! I have a question regarding the insert clip with prescription of Q optics- are you able to see well through the the sides of the loupe? for example, if you stop working for a minute to look at an xray and don't want to take off the loupes, can you see from the sides? Is the clip big enough that you don't see the rim when seeing sideways? I'm afraid I'm either going to see the rim or it's going to be through the non prescription glass.
