We have been working with dentists and hygienists who re- quire true 2.5x magnification, but desire 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 customers expect from its products. The ULTRA Mini Telescopes can be built into any of the company’s frames — including its popular Nike® Skylon Ace sport frame —and are fully customized to each customer. “The lens system uses the same precision-coated optics as our traditional magnifica- tion systems,” Feinbloom said. “We can also accommodate eyeglass prescriptions into the ULTRA Mini Telescopes.” ‘Small’ innovations from Designs for Vision Combining the Micro 3.5EF Scopes or 2.5x ULTRA Mini Telescopes with either the LED DayLite® ULTRA Mini or NanoLite™ headlights provides contrast and further en- hances visibility. Designs for Vision’s combos are a frac- tion of the weight of some light/loupe combo systems on the market, according to the company. Designs for Vision, which invented “Through-the-Lens” technology, is a small company that has been privately held since its founding in 1961.
