An eye loupe is a small magnifying device worn over the eye to see tiny details closely. It is commonly associated with jewelers, but is used by many other professions, from watchmakers to engineers of small electronics, and for appraisal of precious gems, coins or stamps, proving especially useful for the latter three as it allows for close examination of the details and any damage or imperfections, including those that might give them away as fakes. In fiction, someone wearing an eye loupe is used as visual shorthand for several things. If it's a one-shot, never-seen-before character, this immediately tags them as some sort of expert coming to appraise whatever valuable artwork or rarity is at hand. Otherwise, an established character pulling out one is a sign that they're Crazy-Prepared, or more commonly, greedy. The Miser Advisor or The Scrooge frequently owns one, ready at all times to appraise the value of anything they grab. An eye loupe can also show up for quick gags and humorous situations, often in a completely unexpected setting (including anachronistic). A common stereotype is for a woman offered an engagement ring to immediately examine it with a loupe. Or the humor might be in establishing something is very, very small and requires the tool to be seen. |

In the Ranma ½ manga, Nabiki Tendō wears an eye loupe to appraise the "engagement ring" Ranma's mother tasked Ranma to give to his fiancée. Nabiki deems it of no monetary value, which doesn't change its symbolic value. Turns out, it isn't an engagement ring at all, although for once that's not because Nabiki was deceptive about it. | |

In the Looney Tunes short "Goo-Goo Goliath", the drunk Delivery Stork switches off the families of a human baby and a giant baby (because the giant one was too heavy to fly to the top of the beanstalk). At the end, we see the adult giant taking care of the human baby, using an eye loupe to change his diapers. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW): In "Manehattan Mysteries", Rarity is seen using a loupe to confirm that a diamond is fake. A rare case where the character has a good reason to own one, not to mention recognise a fake: Rarity frequently works precious and semi-precious stones into the clothing she designs for a living. | |

In a sketch from The Benny Hill Show with Benny Hill as Robin Hood, he's about to kiss the hand of a wealthy lady when he notices the many jeweled rings and bracelets she's wearing. Robin pulls a (completely anachronistic) eye loupe to better examine them, before robbing her blind. | |

In some old Donald Duck cartoons, Daisy Duck would be the one to use the loupe to check jewelry (like an engagement ring from Donald), for instance Donald's Diary (at 4:38 on the video). | |

In Hidden City, Carlos Light◊ wears a headband with an eyepiece on it. He's a lamplighter who usually tinkers with anti-fog crystal-powered lamps, so he likely uses the lenses to help him study and observe the crystal properties as he tests it in various lamp designs. | |

Futurama: In "Where the Buggalo Roam", when the bead the native Martians traded their land for turns out to be a giant diamond, Bender pulls out a loupe to examine it. He does so again in "Bender's Big Score, Part IV", after realizing a phony diamond he switched with a real one may have been worth more. One imagines he acquired it sometime after "A Flight to Remember", in which Hermes uses one to determine that a diamond bracelet Bender was left by a tragically dead Love Interest is a fake. |

Doctor Who: The Fourth Doctor sometimes made use of one, particularly in "Robot", with which he examines a completely flattened dandelion. In "Heaven Sent", the Twelfth Doctor picks up an eye loupe conveniently placed next to a painting of Clara Oswald to examine it. It allows him to find out the puzzling fact that the painting is very old, despite his instincts telling him he hadn't traveled through time. Then he drops the eye loupe to test out the gravity of the place. |
