A picture representation of the pressure points between the eyeglass frame and the patients head is the

  1. Pupillary Distance

  2. Vertex Distance

  3. Fitting Triangle

  4. Pantoscopic Angle

The correct answer is: Fitting Triangle

A Khulaqui A fitting triangle is a graphical representation of the points of contact between the eyeglass frame and the patient's head. This is helpful for opticians in determining the best fit for each individual patient. The other options are not correct because - Pupillary distance (A) is the measurement of the distance between the centers of the pupils of the eyes. - Vertex distance (B) is the distance between the back surface of the lens and the front surface of the cornea. - Pantoscopic angle (D) is the angle formed between the lens frame and the plane of the face. Therefore, only the fitting triangle (C) is a visual representation specifically related to the pressure points between the eyeglass frame and the patient's head.
