 Frame Selection & Styling

Choosing the Best Frame for Each Face

 Mary E. Schmidt, ABOC, CPO

Course Description:

How can you tell your patient that the frame of his or her dreams could look extra special with a slightly different shape? How can you be confident about exactly what that shape should be? We’re here to help. Those who complete this hands-on course will learn techniques that will enable them to assess face shapes and discern which frames will most complement patients’ features.
