I have just enrolled in school to be an optometrist and one of the first tasks I must do is figure out the scientific names for different frame types where can i find this info
ANSWER
Hello Jill,
There are several books out on the subject. Look for any ophthalmic dispensing guide and usually the first chapter will have information on different frame materials.
Best of luck to you at school!
