A patient wants a new pair of glasses. You notice that one ear is a lot lower than the other. You instantly know that a bad choice for a frame would be
  1. A metal frame with spring hinges
  2. A plastic frame with wide temples at the end piece
  3. A rimless frame with thin temples
Explanation
Answer: B - A bad choice of a frame for someone who has one ear a lot lower than another would be a plastic frame with wide temples at the end piece.

Since the only way to align the frame to sit on the patients face horizontally correct is to adjust one or both temples, this type of frame can’t be bent at the end piece to make that correction.

A rimless frame or metal frame can properly be adjusted for the patient with uneven ears.
