Surgery & Loupe Magnification

            1.5x level of loupe magnification for most Hair transplant surgeons, and also for most first-time loupe wearers.  However, for certain specialties, an increase in magnification may be justified. Going beyond to a 3.0x or 3.3x will increase the level of magnification – but with a very significant reduction in the field of view.  With a 1.5x loupe will allow you to see the expanded view - so that you can also easily locate instruments on the periphery of your view, plus they will provide you with exceptional depth-of-field so that you can move closer and farther from the patient without losing focus.

Surgery & Loupe Magnification

         Another factor that goes hand-in-hand with the level of magnification is the working distance measurement.   Choosing the correct working distance will ensure that you can see the best, and at the posture.

How do I determine my working distance? 

       It varies by height and body type, but also how you sit and work with your patients.  The best method is to use a tape measure or similar measuring device.  While sitting in an ergonomic position in your normal workspace, measure the distance between your eyes and the patient.  This is your specific working distance.   Please note that at a 1.5x magnification that the optics will allow for 5-6” (125-150mm) depth-of-field, which means you will be able to move your head closer and farther from the patient – without a loss of focus.
