SurgiTel ErgoVision TTL User manual

®
►Thank you for choosing SurgiTel®!
Your SurgiTel®telescopes have been designed to meet the demanding needs
of today’s clinical professionals. Please keep in mind that you will have
a hand-eye coordinaon adjustment period of about two weeks. Begin
slowly with simple movements, working your way up to more complicated
procedures. In the end, SurgiTel®telescopes will allow you to see, work, and
feel your best.
 Make sure you
are wearing the frame
comfortably on your nose
by not positioning the frame
too close to your eyes.
►GETTING STARTED

Remove protection caps.
Adjust nose pads.
Approach your magnified image
slowly until you are comfortable with
the depth perception change.
Move your frame slightly away
from face/eyes to minimize fogging.

6Secure retainer strap attached to
temple arms, this will increase
stability with higher magnification.
Sit at your measured working
distance.
Starting Magnification Tips
 A new or upgraded user to magnicaon will experience a normal
“adjustment” period.
 This is normal as you are adjusng to using your new loupes on two levels:
 Hand/Eye Coordinaon – geng used to working with a magnied eld.
 Improved Posture – geng used to sing more upright.
 For the 1 Week: Begin by working for 1-2 hours in the morning on simple
procedures.
 For the 2 Week: Gradually work your way to more complex procedures,
both in the morning and aernoon.
 Also, do not walk around with your telescopes on. Be sure to take them o
when walking around.

SurgiTel Ergo frame
If the temple arms are too ght or too loose, you can easily adjust the width of
the temple arms by evenly bending them at the ear piece of the temple arm.
Ergo frames may also be adjusted at the temple arm hinge.
*Make sure to grasp the eyeglass rim rmly before bending hinge.

►ADJUSTING NOSE PAD(S)
When the nose pads are properly adjusted to your face, they will provide excel-
lent comfort and balance. If the nose pads do not make even contact with your
nose comfortably, please follow the direcons described below.
Changing nose pad style, using ergo t nose pad mounng block
1. Before switching to a dierent nose pad style, it is recommended that you
try set choice from factory. Any slight ocular misalignment or discomfort, refer
to “How to adjust nose pad to t nose” instrucons above. If you decide to
change to a dierent nose pad style, please read and follow steps below for
help with vercal alignment with oculars.
2. Start by reassembling new nose pad wire arms into same mounng block
holes, as used on previous.
3. If you see top shadowing when looking through oculars, mount nose pad
wire arms down (example: “A to B” or “B to C”) unl xed.
4. I f you see boom shadowing when looking through oculars, mount nose pad
wire arms up (example: “C to B” or “B to A”) unl xed.
►P.D. (PUPILLARY DISTANCE)
SurgiTel®magnicaon systems were designed to promote great body
posioning. In order to maximize this eect, the user must be aware of common
mistakes made while using a TTL telescope.
1. Bending your head towards your chest to look over the oculars can create
neck discomfort.
2. Wearing the frame on the p of the nose creates a smaller eld of view.
3. Rushing to bring instruments into the magnied eld during the learning
curve can create a feeling of awkwardness due to the change in your depth
percepon.
Remember to sit at a measured working distance and take your me geng used
to your new telescopes and aer a short period of me your work will become
naturally easier.
►POSTURE & COMFORT
Our telescopes
Other telescope
brands
Our extensive loupe manufacturing experience, based on years of customer data,
has taught us that seng your loupes to one “circle eld” at the specic working
distance runs the risk of the visual convergence crossing-over and potenally
leading to eye strain.
If you prefer we can manufacture your loupes to “one circle eld” - we can
accommodate this, however, it is not recommended.
The ideal P.D. your loupes are manufactured to is not one “circle,” but rather one
“oblong/oval” with one image (like a pair of binoculars).
Optimal/Preferred
Pupillary Adjustment
The Benets of the “Oblong/Oval Field Size”:
1. Greater eld of view
2. Greater depth-of-eld
3. Greater long-term visual comfort

ABC
• Adjusng Nose Pads for Too
High Oculars
Adjust the width of the nose pads
by bending the nose pad wire
mounts outwards (g 7). By doing
so, this will reduce the height of
the frame and lower the ocular
posion.
• Adjusng Nose Pads for Too
Low Oculars
Adjust the width of the nose pads
by bending the nose pad wire
mounts inwards (g 8). By doing
so, this will increase the height
of the frame and raise the ocular
posion.
• Adjusng Nose Pads for Low
Nose
If the nose pads are not evenly
placed on the bridge of the nose,
bend the wire mounts down and
away from the frame (g 9) and
readjust the width of the nose
pads if necessary. Note that the
wire mount lt angle depends on
the bridge of the nose. The less
nose bridge you have, the larger
the lt becomes to t your nose.
