Which magnification do I need?
- General dentistry and dental hygiene: 2.5x to 3.0x, with a wide field across the quadrant.
- Dental and medical students: 2.5x is the most common first pair and the easiest to adapt to.
- General and orthopedic surgery: 2.5x to 3.5x.
- Spine and vascular surgery: 3.0x to 4.5x.
- Hand, plastic, endodontics and microsurgery: 4.0x and up.
Choose the lowest magnification that shows the hardest routine step of your work clearly. More magnification narrows the field and the depth of field.

Can I pay in my local currency?
Prices are charged in US dollars to any international credit or debit card. Your bank converts the amount to your local currency.

How do I get measured without a sales rep?
We only need two numbers: your pupillary distance (from a phone app or an optician) and your working distance (a tape measure, in your working posture). We review them with you before anything is made.
