where do you look first when adjusting a frame?
the face front
what is the origin of the frame
the bridge
2 facial complexions
warm: golden and peaches and cream
cool: blue or pinks
name and describe all the facial shapes
DORITOS
diammond- wide cheek bones and narrow jaw and forehead
oblong- longer than it is wide
round- height and width appear equal
inverted triangle- wide forehead narrow chin
triangle- narrow forehead and wide jaw
oval- chin slightly narrow than forehead and cheekbones are high. most common face shape
square- tall as it is wide
what are all the frame shape alignments and describe them
- frame shape alignment- general frame shape
- proper face form- from the center of the lens out, the curve of the frame should be approx 5%
- skewed bridge- both lenses are not the same height. (describe picture)
- variant planes (coplanar alignment)- one lens sits closer to the eye than the other (describe picture)
- x-ing: the bridge is twisted (describe picture)
- check for temple bows and bends!
- pantoscopic tilt- the curve of the frame should be 10-15 degrees. (describe picture)
- open temple spread (let back angle)- this is the angle the open temples form in relationship to the front of the frame
- temple fold angle- temples should be adjusted to form a straight line when in a closed position
- Temple bends- the temple mastoid should be 45 degrees down and 15 degrees in.
- 4 point touch- should be done upside down first. alll 4 points of a frame should touch the surface evenly.
reasons why a frame might sit leaning to one side of a patients face
- xing
2.pantoscopic tilt - there could be be some bows and bends
optyl (plastic)
has no core wire on temples. a liquid resin and a hardner are mixed together to create the frame
PROS- very flexible and is appropriate for patients when they’re allergic to other frame materials
CONS- brittle and easy to break
cellulose acetate (plastic)
most common and popular frame material. made from short fiber of the cotton seed.
Pros- easy to work with and limitless colors
cons- plasticizers in frame can cause allergic reactions
difference between pantoscopic tilt and angle
panto tilt: deals with lens
panto angle: frame
When looking at a face shape, where do the dots usual line on the face?
by the brows, cheeks, and jaw
in a general frame shape, what should a frame do?
should enhance and counter balance any frame shape that isn’t oval
what style is best for a diamond face shape?
square frames, frames with straight top and rounded bottom
line bifocal should measure…
lower lid margin
trifocals should measure….
lower pupil margin
measure for progressive lenses…
middle of the pupil
what is the most popular frame material?
cellulose acetate
how many cm is the pupil to lower lid margin?
4-5cm
but maybe 5
which frame material can be damaged by alcohol?
cellulose acetate
cellulose propionate
nylon
polyamide
cellulose propionate
to raise or fix one side of the frame, what should be done or checked
pantoscopic tilt
temple bows or bends
x-ing
cross swords is another word for
closing angle position
the back of the spherical lens is called
ocular curve
measure front of the spherical single vision lens is called
base curve
2 types of temple tips for metal and plastic frames
metal: comfort cable
plastic: riding bow
how many mm is from middle of pupil to lower pupil margin?
2mm
what styles is best for an oval face shape?
almost any style works well
what styles fits a round face shape?
frames with colored and high temples makes the face look longer, consider slightly curved and soft square frames
what style fits an inverted triangle face shape?
round on top and squared at the bottom frames. slightly curved frames
what style fits a triangle face shape?
recommend mid to high temple styles, square frames, aviators, rimless bottoms
what style fits an oblong face shape?
low temples and bridges. round, deep, square frames.
