Eyebrows touching the lens; adding which tilt will solve the problem?

• A. Vertex Distance
• B. Pantoscopic Tilt
• C. Frame Width
• D. Lens Shape

Answer: (B)

Pantoscopic tilt is the adjust­ment that changes how the lens planes sit in relation to the face in the vertical plane. When you add pantoscopic tilt, the lenses are angled more toward the cheek, which lowers the likelihood that the brow will contact the lens. This increases brow clearance and stops the eyebrows from touching the lens.

Vertex distance affects how far the eye is from the back of the lens, not how high the lens sits relative to the brow. Frame width changes horizontal fit around the temples, not the vertical clearance at the brow. Lens shape changes the edge geometry but doesn’t fix brow contact. So, adding pantoscopic tilt directly addresses the issue of eyebrows touching the lens.
