Hello everyone,
I was hoping to get some advice regarding loupes selection for an integrated plastic surgery resident. I found old threads in the general surgery and plastic surgery sections but they are either outdated or not relevant. I spoke to many of my fellow residents and attendings to identify the a) best frame and b) ideal magnification. It seems that x3.5 is what everyone has because we use them for micro as well. Most people use the Design for Visions Yeoman frame, but it is so much heavier when compared to the Oakley Surgitel frame. When asked why don't people buy the Oakley type, the reply has been that you look like an idiot with them and that they hurt your ears : )
I would be grateful if any other plastic surgery resident and attending could share their wisdom and recommend
a) frame
b) magnification (bearing in mind that we also do micro with them)
c) do they hurt your ears or nose when wearing them?
Thank you in advance for your help!
