Frame Fitting, Adjustments and Repair
How confident are you at assessing the fit of a frame, adjusting a patients’s frame when in front of them or carrying out common frame repairs? Gain confidence in all these tasks by attending this one-day workshop.
The day covers both the theory of frames, materials and fitting complemented with hands-on practical sessions to hone the skills and confidence to perform adjustments, whether during the collection process or if they have returned to practice later.
You will learn about frame construction, the different materials used to manufacture frames and teh key properties that need to be understood to adjust the material properly. There will be sessions on BEST fitting to allow you to thoroughly assess the fit of any frame in a systematic manner; as well as the opportunity to carry out several different frame repairs, such as;
- rethread a supra frame
- plug a rimless mount
- shorten a side
- straighten a bent frame
