Clinical Voices - How the Right Loupe Transforms Dentistry

Real clinicians. Real results. Real impact.

Every clinician’s experience with loupes is personal. The right setup doesn’t just improve what you see  -  it changes how you work, how you feel, and how you deliver care.

At Evident, we’re proud to support thousands of dental professionals across the UK and Ireland through our partnership with ExamVision, providing bespoke optical solutions that combine precision, comfort, and lasting value.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here, four respected clinicians share how their custom-fitted loupes have transformed their daily practice  -  from posture and precision to confidence and wellbeing.

Dr Nick Fahey  -  Restorative and Implant Specialist

Co-director of the award-winning Woodborough House in Berkshire, Dr Nick Fahey has spent more than two decades pushing the boundaries of restorative and digital dentistry.

For Nick, the benefits of magnification go far beyond improved visibility. The right loupe, he says, enhances both performance and comfort  -  allowing him to work with complete focus and without physical strain.

“When your vision improves, your work improves. That’s what loupes should do: quietly, effectively, every day.”

Having used various loupes over the years, Nick found that it was the combination of Evident’s clinical expertise and ExamVision’s optical quality that finally delivered a setup that felt perfectly natural.

“The setup just worked. No compensating. No discomfort. It did what I needed without me having to think about it.”

The result is not just sharper precision, but better wellbeing  -  the kind of difference you feel in your body at the end of the day.

“You want something that fits your working rhythm and supports you without compromise. That’s when loupes go from being helpful to essential.”

Dr Linda Greenwall  -  Restorative & Aesthetic Dentist

An internationally recognised leader in restorative and aesthetic dentistry, Dr Linda Greenwall has long championed the importance of comfort and ergonomics in clinical care.

For Linda, great loupes should be almost invisible in use  -  so well balanced and aligned that you forget you’re wearing them.

“You don’t realise how much strain you’ve been working under until it’s gone. The right loupes can feel like lifting a weight from your shoulders  -  literally.”

Her philosophy is that comfort and clarity go hand in hand. When the loupe setup matches the clinician’s posture and natural working habits, fatigue disappears, focus sharpens, and procedures become smoother and more enjoyable.

“Good loupes should become part of you. They shouldn’t fight against your natural way of working; they should enhance it.”

Evident’s approach to fitting  -  led by optometrists who understand the realities of clinical practice  -  ensures each clinician achieves exactly that level of alignment.

Dr Tidu Mankoo  -  Aesthetic & Implant Dentist

Based in Windsor, Dr Tidu Mankoo is internationally respected for his contributions to aesthetic and implant dentistry, as well as for co-founding the British Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry.

For Tidu, loupes are not an optional extra  -  they are fundamental tools of modern clinical excellence.

“Magnification is only part of the story. True precision comes when every detail  -  from the optics to the frame  -  is tuned to you.”

He believes that the right loupes not only elevate accuracy but also transform the clinician’s mental focus. When the optics, ergonomics, and lighting all align perfectly, they disappear from conscious thought  -  leaving only the work itself.

“When loupes fit well and perform flawlessly, you stop thinking about them. All your focus is on the patient  -  exactly where it should be.”

Tidu also highlights the importance of expert measurement and aftercare, noting that professional guidance makes all the difference between a useful tool and a career-changing one.

Dr Rhodri Thomas  -  Cosmetic Dentist & Educator

Founder of The Art of Dentistry training series, Dr Rhodri Thomas is passionate about precision, posture, and minimally invasive dentistry.

For Rhodri, protecting the body is just as important as perfecting the smile. Years of leaning, twisting, and adjusting take their toll on clinicians, and that’s where the right loupe can make a real difference.

“Your eyes are your number one clinical tool, so it’s vital to protect them. Good-quality loupes are one of the most important investments you can make.”

Working with Evident and ExamVision allowed him to achieve a setup that balanced magnification, posture, and comfort  -  improving both the quality of his work and his long-term wellbeing.

“It’s about looking after your body for the long term. If you’re in pain, or straining to see, something’s not right.”

Rhodri now helps train the next generation of clinicians to adopt ergonomic habits early  -  emphasising that the right loupe setup is one of the best ways to ensure a long and sustainable career in dentistry.

“You need the right magnification, the right frame, and the right posture. Get that right, and it will change how you practise.”

The common thread: clarity, comfort, confidence

Across every story, three themes emerge:

• Clarity – Loupes that sharpen vision and elevate precision.
   
• Comfort – Ergonomic design that supports natural posture.
   
• Confidence – Equipment that becomes an extension of the clinician.
   

These are the hallmarks of loupes that truly work for you. And they’re the reason Evident and ExamVision have become the trusted choice for thousands of dental professionals across the UK and Ireland.

When your vision and posture align perfectly, dentistry feels different  -  lighter, more controlled, and infinitely more rewarding.
