Abstract: An apparatus for changing the direction of light incident on a surgical loupes, the loupes having two optical barrels each optical barrel having an optical assembly with an optical axis. The apparatus includes at least one optical member for redirecting light incident onto said optical assemblies from a desired direction at an angle to the optical axis of said optical assemblies; an attachment member to secure said at least one optical member to the barrels; and an alignment member for calibrating the orientation of the at least one optical member relative to the optical assemblies of the barrels so that the at least one optical member is oriented to redirect the light from said desired direction generally along the optical axes of said optical assemblies of the barrels.
