Common questions
Apollo is offered in 3.0x, 4.0x, 5.0x, and 6.0x. It is the HeliosX ergonomic prismatic system with fixed working distance — best for clinicians who want a posture-locked setup tuned for clarity at one consistent working distance.
Apollo runs 3.0x–6.0x with fixed working distance. Medusa runs 3.0x–8.5x with adjustable working distance. Pick Apollo for a posture-locked daily setup; pick Medusa for clinicians who change posture across cases or need higher magnification ceilings.
Apollo with frame is 55–58.2 g depending on configuration. Apollo 1 and Apollo 2 frames each ship in five colorways.

Clinician reviews
Rachel B. 🇺🇸
Hand Surgery Fellow
I demoed Orascoptic prismatic at a course. The Apollo 4.5x is at minimum as sharp at half the price. Frame is more comfortable on me, probably because IPD was custom not preset. Fellowship-budget friendly.
Olivia C. 🇺🇸
Endodontist
I scope the difficult ones but on routine cases the Apollo at 5.0x with a good headlamp is enough. Crisp magnification, no rainbow fringe at the edges. The price-to-value ratio is the best I have seen since I started practicing in 2015.
Sarah H. 🇺🇸
Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, PGY-4
The Apollo frame fits flat against my face better than the borrowed Orascoptic pair I had been using. At 4.0x there is no edge softness and the image is even from corner to corner. Worth every dollar against the trainee budget.
James M. 🇺🇸
Plastic Surgery Attending
I do not say that lightly. Replaced a 7-year-old SurgiTel pair. The Apollo 5.0x renders fine vessels with better contrast and the frame stays in place during long aesthetic cases. The custom IPD measurement process was meticulous.

Switched from Galilean after 14 years. Apollo at 4.0x lets me sit upright with my head tilted maybe 5 degrees. My old setup had me at 25. My PT thanked me by week three.

Recomendado por um colega que comprou as Medusa. Optei pelas Apollo a 5.0x por causa do meu trabalho com anastomoses. A nitidez e o conforto do quadro são excelentes. O atendimento ao cliente respondeu por email no mesmo dia para confirmar as medidas.

Otolaryngology Resident, PGY-2
First loupes I have owned. The Apollo 3.0x fit was very close on arrival but the temple needed a small tweak. Support walked me through the adjustment over email. Image quality is excellent for the price tier.

Hago endodoncia y restauración estética. Con las Apollo a 4.0x trabajo erguido y termino el día sin la rigidez cervical de siempre. La calidad del campo es nítida hasta los bordes. Buena opción para colegas de Latinoamérica que no quieren pagar precios europeos.

Купил Apollo 4.0x. Качество изображения отличное, в комплекте все необходимое для измерений. Минус только в логистике до России - заняло около четырех недель. Сами линзы и оправа на уровне дорогих немецких брендов.

I was the cheapest pair in clinic for a year. Saved up and got Apollo at 3.0x. The difference in fatigue at the end of a six-hour clinic day is real. Two attendings have asked me where I bought them since I started wearing them.

Built for real operators
HeliosX exists because surgeons shouldn't have to choose between compromised tools and two months of rent. The work is demanding enough-the access should be too.
