ABO NOCE Basic Opticianry

Answer: B - The best frame for a person with one ear much higher than another would be a metal frame with thinner temples.

A metal frame with spring hinges may not be able to be adjusted enough to allow for the frame to sit straight on the persons face. The zyl frame with wide temples will be nearly impossible to adjust to allow the frame to sit straight on a person who has unequal ears. The easiest frame to adjust for this type of patient would be a metal frame with temples that can withstand the adjustment needed to make one temple higher than the other.
