12. Adjusting Convergence Angle
Before adjusting the convergence
angle, set the IPD (see step 10).
Then, follow the instructions in step
11.0. If you still see two horizontal
dots, your optics have convergence
error and you need to rotate the lens
barrels to eliminate the horizontal
convergence error.
12.0 To adjust the horizontal conver-
gence angle, first look downward at
the loupe optics from the top to see
if the barrels are equally angled.
12.1 Barrels out of alignment will
appear asymmetrical.
12.2 If a barrel seems out of align-
ment, loosen both convergence
adjustment screws with a Phillips
screwdriver.
12.3 Adjust one or both barrels so
they are pointing slightly and equally
inward (this will give you a rough
alignment).
12.4 Slightly tighten both screws
to keep them in alignment. Focus
on the dot from Step 11. If you still
see two dots, repeat steps 10.0
- 12.4 until you see one dot and both
barrels are pointing inward equally.
Once set, tighten both convergence
screws on each barrel.

10. Adjusting IPD
10.0 With the Perioptix “Set and
Forget” feature, the only adjustment
that is usually needed is to set the
IPD (Interpupillary Distance). While
focusing on an object, pull up on the
Interpupillary Adjustment Knob and
rotate, moving the optics apart and
together. You should look at the out-
side rings of the field of view when
you are adjusting the IPD.
10.1 Focus on an object with the
optics far apart.
10.2 Bring the optics together until
you see a single circle. Once you see
a single circle, your IPD is set.
11. Convergence Angle Test
The convergence angle of your loupe
optics is preset according to your
working distance.
11.0 To test the convergence angle,
draw a single dot on a piece of paper.
Focus on the dot with your loupe op-
tics at the proper working distance.
Unless you are seeing two dots, your
convergence settings should not
require adjustment.
11.1 Two horizontal dots indicate
horizontal misalignment. Proceed
to step 12 to correct the conver-
gence angle.
11.2 In the rare case that two verti-
cal dots indicate a vertical misalign-
ment, your loupes may need to be
returned to PeriOptix for adjustment.
