Bridge Selection Selecting the proper bridge size and shape for any given patient is a crucial part of frame selection both from a cosmetic and a purely practical perspective. Since a �high� bridge such as a keyhole style tends to accentuate nose length it should be avoided with longer noses and recommended with shorter, stubbier noses. The opposite holds true with �lower� bridge designs such as a saddle bridge. Patients with especially narrow bridges are generally successful with adjustable nose pads. Very often adjustable pads can be added to a zyl frame which may increase the selection of wearable frames for the narrow-bridged patient. Saddle bridges and �comfort� bridges for metal frames are difficult to adjust, therefore care must be taken to insure the fit is suitable right from the beginning during the initial frame selection. |
