Question 1

When adjusting temple length for a patient, which measurement indicates the correct fit?

Accepted Answer

Temple tip rests gently on or just behind the ear with even pressure

Answer

The temple should curve smoothly behind the ear with light, even contact along its length for secure yet comfortable fit.

Question 2

A patient complains the bridge pinches the nose after one hour of wear. The most appropriate first adjustment is:

Accepted Answer

Widen the nose pad spread by angling the pad arms outward

Answer

Widening the nose pad spread distributes weight over a larger area, reducing pressure and pinching sensation.

Question 3

Monocular distance PD for each eye

Answer

Monocular PDs (right and left separately) are required to correctly center each single-vision lens over its respective pupil.

A frame with a 52-18-140 designation has a bridge size of:

Accepted Answer

18 mm

Answer

In the standard frame size notation, the middle number represents the bridge (DBL) size in millimeters.

Question 5

To correct a frame that sits too low on the patient's face, the optician should:

Answer

Angling the pad arms downward moves the nose pads lower on the nose, raising the frame's overall position on the face.
