The video was very good. I have been wearing loupes for probably 20 years and have recently been having neck issues. You don’t know what you don’t know. When I became aware of my obstructed vision when my head was in a more correct position, I went and bought new loupes that solved the problem.

This video is so informative and succinct. ADEA really needs to consider a web course series with Dr. Valachi so Dental Educators can help their students in Loupe selection. This video really helps you become an informed consumer. Its such a shame we select very expensive equipment (that is supposed to improve our posture) based on “cosmetic” looks.
