If both nosepads press the nose
or indent too much, what is
probably not a possible cause?
A. Pads too small forframe
weight
B. Temple spread is
noteven
C. Pads too closetogether

To eliminate a gap between the
lens and a

, metal eyewire, the best
alternative is to:
A. Place a strip of
lensliner at a point exactly
opposite the gap
B. Place a strip of
lensliner in the gap area C.
Heat the lens in the frame
and allow it to cool at room
temperature

are satisfactory E. All of the
above methods are satisfactory
The larger the frame difference
--------- the lens shape
