Hi all,
I am one of those dentists. I have my surgical lens from Orascoptic
Research. A google search should give you a few other venders. These are
great and most surgeons use them. My endodontic brothers/sisters are
currently using operating microscopes for extremely fine work.
Be prepared to pay in the $1000 range for the lens.

Another source of information is your dentist. Mine gave me some
references for purchasing glasses and/or clipons that had a longer
working distance than the 8" typical of the Optivisors. (Seems folks
don't like the dentist 8" from their face during exams.....)

I agree with the optivisor. I use it daily. And it fits over eyeglasses
so
you can use it with them. The binocular vision and freedom from having
to
put a big glass in between you and the work is wonderful.

If you have binocular vision (both eyes work together and almost equal
corrected vision) I think you'll find an Optivisor to be superior to
the
Mag Lamps. It is a headband with lenses that can be lowered over your
current eyeglasses. If you get about an 8" working distance,you can
solder and see the smallest of solder "bridges". Its also fairly
comfortable.
Just google optivisor, they have some off brand copies for about $20.

I have learned that the "helping hands" I got from Radio Shack do
not
provide nearly
enough Magnification nor any illumination of the PCBs and components
