What's Inside the Box: Dr. Kim Headlight
Key Features & Benefits of Dr. Kim Shadowless Headlights
Light
Patented high-quality dual LEDs with adjustable brightness will illuminate your work area. The dual LEDs, placed in line with your vision, will minimize harsh shadows. A conventional single beam (top) produces a very distinct shadow while dual LEDs (bottom) minimizes shadow – see above.
Magnification
We offer a range of loupes with 1.3-1.5x magnification, a correction for farsightedness, and a generous field of view to help you see clearly. For those situations that require even greater precision, we offer telescopes with 2.5x and 4x magnification. You may interchange the loupes and telescopes as needed without tools.
Convenience
Patented light-weight adjustable C-band ensures a comfortable fit, allowing untethered operation, free from wires. Position the dual LEDs (and a loupe) in line with your vision and turn on the light. Simply direct the light with your head. The battery housing that is built-in at the back of the C-band permits easy replacement of the rechargeable Lithium battery.
Costs
The Dr. Kim Headlight costs a fraction of the competition; yet offers superior user experience. The modular design lets you upgrade only the loupe/telescope as needed.
FAQs
You can assess your PD with a help of another person. Pupillary Distance (PD) is the distance between your pupils. Please ask the person tostand 12-16 inches (your typical working distance) away from you. Ask the person to measure the distance between your pupils in millimeter (mm) with aruler while you focus your eyes on that person’s nose. Alternatively, you may obtain your PD from your ophthalmologist/optometrist. Since PD is typically measured for far vision, you would need to subtract 2 mm to arrive at your PD for your typical working distance.
In addition to providing optimal lighting, Dr. Kim Headlight System can further enhance your vision with the use of lenses. Two types of lens magnifications are available – loupe and telescope. Loupes and telescope are engineered to work seamlessly with the headlight. You can easily attach/remove loupe and telescope as needed. You do not need any special tool. Please note that you cannot use loupe and telescope simultaneously. Only one can be used at a time. However, you may use loupe simultaneously with your eyeglasses. Since loupe/telescope is attached to theC-band and is light in weight, it does not place any additional strain on your nose or neck.
Loupe is selected based on two parameters: Pupillary Distance (PD, in mm) and Diopter. For example, a loupe with 58-1.5 indicates a PD of 58mm and diopter of 1.5 (mild farsightedness). Since loupes provide generous field of view, don’t worry about fitting PD exactly. A loupe with closest PD should be adequate for your sight. Please contact if you have any questions about how to select right loupe for your need. See, How can I measure my Pupillary Distance for detail. Diopter range from 1.5 to 3.5 in 0.25 increment. For those with mild farsightedness (hyperopia), 1.5 diopter is recommended. Diopter of 2.5 and 3.5 are recommended for those with moderate and severe far sightedness, respectively.
Few physicians have shared their initial concerns about the durability of the C- band given its lightweight plastic construction. High quality plastic was used in the I-beam shape to provide sufficient structural rigidity while providing featherlight headband for improved comfort. None of physicians have yet to return the headlight due to mechanical failure. In fact, most physicians love their Dr. Kim Headlight for its untethered lightweight convenience and comfort.
Loupes provide a 1.5 – 2.5x magnification and generous field of view while the telescope lens provide 2.0x-3.0x magnification and narrower field of view. Loupes are available for specific pupillary Distance (PD) and diopter (farsightedness). On the other hand, the telescope has a built-in focus adjustment for each eye and a mechanism to accommodate a range of typical PD. We will ship a telescope to your specified PD but you will need to adjust focus for your eyes. Whether to choose loupe or the telescope is totally your personal preference. Most physicians find Dr. Kim Headlight with a customized loupe satisfactory and a cost-effective way to begin. You can also acquire the telescope if you require greater magnification.
Our batteries use CR-V Li-ion. Although you can buy any type of CR-V3, we recommend you use Dr. Kim’s battery for optimal results.
The most common reason that light does not turn on is the lack of battery power. Please check the battery to make sure it is placed properly, that the brightness dial is not in off position (turned all the way to downward position), and that battery is not out of power. Placed a freshly charged battery, adjust the brightness dial setting to middle, and turn LEDs on. If you still experience problem, please contact us. Incidentally, when placing battery in the charger, be sure that the battery contacts are properly aligned with the contacts of the charger.
You should take reasonable precautions not to drop the headlight. Also, be gentle especially when pushing down the dual LEDs apparatus to turn on the light. Please keep Dr. Kim Headlight System clean and dry. This headlight should not be used when wet. If the headlight gets wet, discontinue the headlight immediately. Be sure to turn off the headlight immediately with gloved hand, remove the battery, and completely dry the C-band to minimize the risk of electrical shock.
