FAQ's

How do I arrange a demo?

Please get in contact with our customer service team via our live chat, who will put you in contact with one of our product specialists to arrange your demo at a time and location most convenient to you.

What level of magnification should I get?

For procedures where a full arch and soft tissues need to be visible, the 3.8x are recommended. We pioneered the full arch field of view at 5x, and our 5.7x Refractives have gone one step further by retaining the full arch field of view. The 7.2x allows canine to canine field of view, this mean that the highest magnification tends to be for high level precision and single tooth dentistry. Our groundbreaking field of view even at high magnifications means that you can use your Refractives all day.

What is the difference between loupes and Refractives?

Both our loupes and Refractives provide market-leading optics for precise and excellent dentistry. Whilst our loupes encourage a neutral back posture, Refractives take this one step further and ensure the ultimate ergonomic position.

Can I use Refractives if I have an optical prescription?

Yes, we can either add your prescription to your Refractives or you can wear them with your contact lenses in as normal.

How much do Refractives weigh?

Refractives are designed to be ultra light-weight for maximum comfort. The 7.2x weigh 50g, the 5.7x weigh 49g and the 3.8x weigh 48g.

What is the infinity edge?

Infinity edge is a ground-breaking technology which means that there is no obtrusive black barrel around the lenses when looking through your Refractives. These are the loupes designed for biomimetic vision.

How long until I get my order?

Shipping Costs
We offer free UK shipping on all orders over £50.
For all other international deliveries, shipping is free over £100.

Delivery Times
If your order contains bespoke loupes / Refractives, they will typically ship 6-8 weeks after we have received all your details and we have an authorised mandate, deposit or payment in place.

If your loupes / Refractives are more complex in design due to individual variation in measurements, it can take longer. We are unable to speed up this process without compromising the result due to the high levels of engineering that go into each order. We thank you for your patience in advance.

For non-bespoke items, we aim to dispatch your order within 48 hours after payment authorisation; however if for whatever reason we are not able to fulfill your order within this time frame we will inform you of estimated delivery.

How does the online measurement system work?

We use AI and biometric face mapping to calculate key data points we need to get your custom loupes made without having to see a sales rep so you can just order your perfect loupes, take your measurements online and get your loupes delivered to your doorstep.

Do you do free trials?

No as your Refractives are completely custom so we don’t offer free trials, we do offer a 90 day money back guarantee however, so you can be sure that you love your new Refractives.

How long is my trial period?

We offer a 90 day money back guarantee, this is because on average due to their revolutionary design Refractives can take a month to adjust to, and we offer an extra 60 days because our priority is ensuring our customers love their loupes.

Are free returns worldwide?

Yes, we offer worldwide free returns, all you have to do is get in touch with our team and we’ll arrange the rest for you.
