Designs for Vision is excited to be presenting several new products.

“Designs for Vision was started by my father, Dr. William Feinbloom, as an optical company, and during the 1970s our magnification and illumination products found applications in operating rooms and in operatories,” said company President Richard Feinbloom. “This year we are featuring our ULTRA Mini 2.5x Telescopes, Nike Retro and DVI Sport frames, and the NanoCamHD loupe-mounted video camera.”

A pair of ULTRA Mini Telescopes weigh as little as 34 grams (1.2 ounces) and are 40 percent smaller than regular telescopes, thus allowing for easier peripheral vision.

“The ULTRA Mini Telescopes,” Feinbloom said, “like our world renowned Dental Telescopes, provide 2.5x magnification that is fully customized to the individual user, providing ergonomic advantages to our customers. Designs for Vision matches the focal length of each telescope to the ideal working distance of our customers. This way the depth of focus surrounds their ideal working distance, instead of adapting to a pre-set focal length.

“We have been working with dentists and hygienists who required true 2.5x magnification, but desired a lighter, smaller device for all-day use. Designs for Vision wanted to design and engineer a full feature system that offered all of the features our customers expect of a Designs for Vision product. The lens system uses the same precision-coated optics as our traditional magnification systems. We can also accommodate eyeglass prescriptions into the ULTRA Mini Telescopes.”

Exclusive Nike Retro frames

The Nike Retro frames are exclusive to Designs for Vision. Available in tortoise shell, black and translucent gray, the Nike Retro has a classic look. The DVI Sport frames can be used for all magnifications and can incorporate eyeglass prescriptions — providing the protective wrap without any distortion.

Designs for Vision’s new NanoCamHD records digitally at 1080 high-definition resolution. The NanoCamHD records magnified HD images from the user’s perspective. The complete system includes 2.5x, 3.5x and 4.5x lens systems to match the typical magnifications, providing a true user’s point of view.

As an added feature, still photographs can be taken from live video feed or during playback mode. The video or still images can be uploaded into a patient file, included in a presentation or course, or shared with a colleague or laboratory for collaborative consultations.

The NanoCamHD complete system includes a color corrected ULTRA Mini LED DayLite headlight. The combination headlight/NanoCamHD can be attached to loupes or can be worn on a lightweight headband.

The system also includes a foot pedal to enable hands-free operation of the NanoCamHD. Record/pause, mute/unmute and still photography are controlled by the operator hands-free via the pedal.

For best results, combine the NanoCamHD with Designs for Vision’s dental telescopes. Matching true magnification levels of 2.5x, 3.5x or 4.5x can produce realistic simulation from the user’s perspective. The NanoCam can also be attached to the new Nike Retro frames or the new DVI Sport frames.
