The patient can now clearly see the eye chart on the wall that was blurry before. The optometrist smiles warmly while adjusting the frame to fit perfectly on the patient's nose and ears. Other patients in the background try on different frames at mirrors. a pair of lenses in a frame that rests on the nose and ears, used to correct vision or protect the eyes
