Getting Started With Your New Orascoptic™ Loupe

It is common for new users of magnification to experience some initial disorientation. This may also occur when increasing from a lower magnification power to higher powered loupes. In such cases, a two to three-week acclimation period is recommended. If you initially experience dizziness, wear your loupe for no more than one hour at a time and start by performing simple procedures. As your eyes adapt to a magnified field and your hand-eye coordination develops, gradually extend the time you wear your loupe.

Precision Tuning Your Loupe

Although your loupe has been fully tested and customized by our laboratory technicians, they may need to be initially adjusted to your individual facial geometry. Please read through the following guide to learn how to adjust and care for your new loupe.

Level the Frame

Ensuring the frame sits level on your face is crucial. Before any other fine- tuning adjustments can be made, your frame must sit level on your face.

Place the frame on your head while in front of a mirror to level the top of the frame with the pupils of your eyes.
If the frame cannot be leveled with your pupils, visit a local optician to adjust your frame, or call one of our Technical Support Specialists to assist
you with properly adjusting your frame.

Attempting to adjust the frame beyond what is defined in these instructions without assistance may result in damage.

Adjust the Nose Pad

The nose pad on most frames is adjustable. Adjusting the nose pad will change how the frame sits on your nose and allow you to properly see through the telescopes.

To lower the frame on your face, spread the nose pad apart.
To raise the frame on your face, pinch the nose pad together.
If the frame is not centered on your face, bend one nose pad or the other as needed until the frame is centered.
Flatten or twist the ends of the nose pad for additional comfort.

Your Visual Field

When the focus is properly adjusted, the two circles that form the field of view should appear as an ellipse and be in focus. Due to varying facial geometry, sometimes the preset convergence angle may not be aligned properly for your eyes. If the field of view is not clear, or you are experiencing double vision or eye strain, reposition the frame on your face by adjusting the nose pad, temple tips, and head strap until there is a clear field of view.

Adjust the Temple Tips and Head Strap

Adjusting the temple tips and head strap are recommended to help distribute weight around your head for additional comfort. The temple tips on most frame styles can be custom contoured to your head shape to optimize comfort.

Place the loupe on your head and bend the temple tips to conform to the shape of your head and down behind your ears if desired. The temple tips are designed to maintain your desired adjustments.
Tighten the head strap bead behind your head. Your loupe should fit comfortably with minimal pressure on your nose.
To take off your loupe, loosen the head strap bead, grasp both temple arms, and pull the frame up and over your head.

Removing your loupe by grasping a single temple arm may put additional stress on the frame over time.

Adjustable Magnification

EyeZoom™ and EyeZoom Mini
EyeZoom telescopes can transition magnification levels between 3x, 4x, and 5x power. EyeZoom Mini telescopes can transition magnification levels between 2.5x and 3.5x power.

To change the magnification, grasp the black ridged portion of each telescope and turn it so the arrow aligns with your preferred magnification level.
Ensure both telescopes are set to the same power.

OmniOptic™ Telescope System
Telescope anchors will be installed in the carrier lenses of your loupe frame.

Insert a matching pair of telescopes into the anchors and they will be magnetically secured. Each telescope is assembled with a key slot to ensure it is properly aligned with the anchor.
To remove telescopes from the anchors, hold onto the loupe frame with one hand while pulling each telescope out of its anchor. It will take reasonable force to disengage the magnetic interface.
When your loose telescopes are not being used, they should be stored in your loupe case.

Ergo Edge and RDH Elite Edge Frames

The ErgoEdge model frame employs a unique feature that allows you to add or subtract 5 degrees of declination (tilt) to your telescopes. Three different angle settings are displayed on the inside of each temple arm where the arm interfaces with the front of the frame.

From the optical laboratory, the declination of your telescopes will be set to your prescribed angle and aligned to the middle marking on each temple arm.
To change declination, loosen the angle control screw on each temple arm and rotate the arms upward or downward to align the arm with a different marking on the frame front, then tighten the angle control screw to lock the temple arm into that position.
- Top marking: increase declination by 5 degrees (steeper angle)
- Bottom marking: decrease declination by 5 degrees (shallower angle)
Both temple arms should be set to the same angle or clear vision will be compromised.

Flip-up Loupes

Change the declination angle of your telescopes by tilting the flip-up hinge at the lower hinge joint.
Fine-tune the declination angle of your telescopes by adjusting the vertical slide depth. Use an optical screwdriver to slightly loosen the mounting screw. Move the vertical slide up for a shallower angle or down for a steeper angle, then tighten the mounting screw to lock the new position. The mounting screw also secures the mounting clip to your frame. While the mounting screw is loosened, use one hand to keep the mounting clip secured to the frame.
Fine-tune the pupillary distance of your telescopes by rotating the pupillary distance (PD) knob on the hinge to adjust the distance between telescopes to align with your eyes.

Laser Warnings
The human eye is extremely sensitive to laser radiation. Failure to observe the following warnings can result in blindness or other severe and permanent damage to your eyes.

Inspect for damage and fit before each use. Scratched, cracked, or loose-fitting laser loupes or laser inserts may permit the laser beam to reach the eye directly and should not be used.
Ensure the wavelength and power engraved on your laser loupe carrier lenses or laser insert match the wavelength of the beam being transmitted by your laser. Different lasers may require a different type of protective eyewear. If the wavelength at which your laser operates is not blocked by your laser loupe or laser insert, you must select different eyewear protection, as your laser loupes or laser insert will not provide protection for your eyes.
Never look directly into a laser beam even when wearing your laser loupe or laser insert. Your laser loupe is designed to only protect against incidental exposure from the stray or diffused reflection of the laser beam’s energy.
Your laser loupe or laser insert must be worn at all times while operating your laser.
