 Hi everybody, so I'm going to talk about in this video today my $80 Amazon loops that literally just came in the mail. Look at this nice case that it comes in actually, and you guys, I need a nice case. I'm a mobile dental hygienist. I tend to throw my stuff away when I'm getting ready to leave a patient's house. So I need a nice case. I'm going to be talking about the Amazon loops $80 versus my other loops that I've had for years now that I paid about $1,000 for the loops I had prior to that I paid about $2,000 for by a company. I'm not going to mention the company. I'm not going to mention the company because I don't like the company so I don't want to bad mouth the company. I did also include a light. Okay, so if you search my YouTube channel, you will see I've done several reviews on loops over the years so this is an updated one. I've had loops now. Oh gosh I don't even know. 10 years maybe. No it had to have been longer than that. I want to say 10 years probably longer. So let me tell you what is the good the bad I'm even going to talk about different lights. Because if you're wondering if you're a student, or if you've just been wondering about getting a pair of loops. Let me first tell you you need the light, invest in getting a light but I'm also going to leave a link down below for you about lights as well. This light oh gosh maybe $500 I don't remember now. This light I got from Amazon cordless fits on my head, I look goofy but which would you rather a cord or a cordless one come on a court sorry cordless is the way to go. How much was this $30 I'll leave you guys a link down below and I'm going to talk about the pros and cons of all of them. Okay, so let me first talk about the Amazon ones. Okay, so let's talk about the Amazon ones. I have not tried these on patients yet because a little backstory I've been sick from my second COVID vaccine I'm just starting to feel better but I had a fever so I have to wait a little bit before I can see patients again. I have not worn them for patients yet, but when I put them on. And when I try to look through, it looks great, I can definitely see things, things are magnified they look fantastic. This is not heavy at all. I love that I can move it okay. So look at the difference though between the two. This is my $1000 pair. Okay, I'll show you guys the difference right now. Yes, you can't move the lens. Oh, that's probably why they were kind of weird because I have to adjust things a bit you guys sort. But anyways, notice how they're attached to the lenses here you cannot move them. That is a very good quality because you don't have to worry about this part sliding up and down. But these are pretty sturdy they're not going to slide up and down. If they do you can tighten them. That's what the screws are for. So if you don't want to worry about having to tighten them. If you just don't want to worry about moving them up and down, then pay $1000 more for these ones. It's up to you. Let's not break these. Oh my God. I'm okay. Okay. Anyways, these are just $80. So if I broke them I'll just return them to Amazon and say they came broken. Kidding, not kidding. Joking, not joking. Anyways, you guys. So the $1000 pair, $80 pair. I'm completely fine with these ones. They're super light, super comfortable, and you can adjust them. So notice how, sorry, here. Notice how I look funny. Notice how these things are moving you guys so you can adjust them with what works for you. Let me tell you another thing. So these are the very lowest of the low lens wise. The magnification is 2.5. Okay, you might need 3.5. You might need 4.5. I don't need a prescription to see up close. I do have prescription glasses to see distance, but not up close so 2.5 is where I suggest you start. If you've never had loops before, you want to get 2.5. I'm going to leave the link down below for these exact ones, and then I'm going to leave the link down below for 3.5 magnification. That just means that you see better. But if I were to buy 3.5 things would be blurry because I don't need glasses. If you wear glasses, I suggest starting at 3.5. I'm going to leave the link down below for 3.5. So notice how this is. It's Amazon. Take them back. Why not? And guess what? It comes with a light. So the $80 includes a freaking light. Excuse my French. That's not a swear word. I'm going to leave the link down below for 3.5. Okay, you guys, but this is what I use. Look at me. I look hilarious. But you know what? I much prefer the cordless light. But it's nice to have an extra one for if the battery runs out. If I forget to charge it that night, it happens. I'm going to leave the link down below for 3.5. I'm going to leave the link down below for 3.5. I have to charge it maybe once a week, so it's different. But still, I'd rather save the money and just charge my light and have a cordless one every night. But let's say I forget. This beautiful piece here comes with it. I might have to look at the instructions. It's not as easy as it looks. This is a live video. Don't laugh at me. I know you guys are laughing. I actually don't know how to put this on. Did it come with a picture? Okay, I'll figure this out. But see how there's like a little piece here? I should be able to flick it on somehow. I should have probably paused the video, guys, because I probably look like a dummy. Well, you put them on somehow, so I'm going to figure that out later. No problem. I will do that. But that's okay. I can save that for another video. In case you guys are wondering what this orange thing is for, I love this orange thing, because as a restorative dental hygienist, I can place a filling. But this light is very bright. This can actually cure. This can actually set the filling before I'm ready for it to be set. So what I would do is put this over top so it's not affecting the filling when I'm looking down at it. So in case you were wondering, you won't need this orange piece if you're not a restorative hygienist and if you're not a dentist. But I also want to point out everything else it came with. So guess what it came with? A nice little screwdriver to be able to tighten if you need to. It comes with the charger here for the battery pack. You would just put this in your pocket. It's very light. You can turn it on and off. It comes with a cleaning lens. And look at this. It even comes with this to allow. I had actually bought these separately so that I can attach them to my glasses. So I can just put them around my head like this, or sorry, around my neck. This actually comes with them, which is super cool. I like to get a fun color though, so I'm probably going to do that. It's child proof. I can't open it. But that is super cool, you guys. Oh, you can tighten it and everything. $80 well spent, right? Am I right or am I right? So there you go, you guys. I haven't used them on patients yet, but they look fantastic. Just a quick recap. The differences are between the $80 pair and the $1,000 pair. The lenses are attached. These lenses are not attached. You have to move them up and down. The biggest concern is always, is this really heavy? Is it going to hurt you? It's light as a feather, you guys. Light as a feather. But if you don't want to have to worry about moving it up and down, then you want lenses that are attached. But you have to be measured by a rep for these types of lenses. This I bought them on Amazon, so I don't have to be measured. Super easy. This I was just going to buy for a spare. But I kind of wanted new ones. These ones are getting old and I have to actually adjust things a bit. And they're getting cracked here. $1,000, you guys. Money well spent. They did last me at least four years. So that's pretty good. And they do still work, by the way, but just I wanted a new pair. Those are getting kind of like I have to constantly adjust them. These ones, brand new, spanking new, look amazing. And the light that these came with has a cord, the $1,000 pair. I decided to just get another light from Amazon cordless goes on my head. I look like a goof. But talk about easy, right? Am I right? So I will leave the link for that down below. This comes with the light, the Amazon pair. This comes with it. $80 for everything. If you're looking for loops, you need a light. Spend money on the light. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, look at the link down below and get a cordless one. With the Amazon light, you do have to charge it every night. If you buy a light from a dental company, you might have to charge it once a week. I don't care, but who cares if you have to charge your light every night to save a million dollars? I don't mind. So I'm going to do another video, you guys, probably in a couple weeks once I start using the Amazon loops on patients. I haven't yet because I haven't seen patients yet. I've been sick with COVID. No, not sick with COVID. I had the COVID vaccine. Okay. And I'm going to say, I cracked myself up. I was sick from the COVID vaccine. Okay, let me just clarify that. Did everybody hear that? I do not have COVID. But I'll keep you guys posted. You know I'm very honest. I'm going to be honest with you. Thank you guys for watching. Comment below what your feelings are on loops.
