The relationship between different facial and frame measurements will be covered in detail and includes discussions on the facial development of children from birth and how this relates to facial measurements and frame fitting. This lecture will also look at some specific characteristics and general facial measurement indications for children of different ethnicities and children with Down’s syndrome. Discussions frame availability and considerations on appropriate lens choices will also be conducted.

• Understanding lens form and blank size relationships to ensure a suitable outcome for the prescription and the child’s needs.
