Cover Story: By using magnifying aids, a dentist achieves optical, ergonomic and musculoskeletal benefits. Highly demanding eye–hand coordination and tactile perception require the highest visual binocular function and three-dimensional image creation with object depth perception, as well as other psychological and neurological qualities. The miniaturization of Snellen’s visual test enabled this study to examine how properly fitted magnification loupes improve visual acuity at close range, producing higher-quality dentistry.
