INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Precision Tuning Your Universal Flip-Up Loupe
Although your Universal Flip-Up Loupe has been fully tested and customized by our laboratory technicians, it 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. In the U.S. or Canada, please call one of our Technical Support Specialists if you need assistance.
Outside the U.S. and Canada, please call your authorized Orascoptic distributor.
Level the Frame
It is important that the frame sits level on your face so your visual field is clear and in focus.
1. Place the frame on your head while in front of a mirror.
2. Level the top of the frame with the pupils of your eyes (Figure 1).
3. If the frame is not level with your pupils, reposition the frame
on your face, or adjust the head strap and mounting clip until
the frame is level.
4. If you are unable to level the frame on your face by making
these adjustments, in the U.S. or Canada, please call one of our
Technical Support Specialists to assist you. Outside the U.S and
Canada, please call your authorized Orascoptic distributor.
Attempting to adjust the frame without assistance may
result in damage.
Adjust the 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 (Figure 2). 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, or adjust the head strap, mounting clip, and flip-up
hinge until there is a clear field of view.
Adjust the Head Strap
Using a head strap is recommended to help distribute weight around your head for additional comfort.
Note: The head strap that ships with your loupe may not be compatible with other eyewear.
1. Place the loupe on your head (Figure 3).
2. Tighten the head strap bead (Figure 3-1). Your loupe should fit
comfortably with minimal pressure on your nose from the telescopes.
3. To remove your loupe, loosen the head strap bead, grasp both
temple arms, and pull your loupe up and over your head.
Removing your loupe by grasping a single temple arm
may put additional stress on the frame over time.
