Computed tomography-based 3D modeling to provide custom 3D-printed glasses for children with craniofacial abnormalities

Frank L Brodie et al. J AAPOS. 2019 Jun.

Abstract

Children with craniofacial malformations frequently require spectacles but have difficulty finding an acceptable fit with current offerings of pediatric spectacle frames. We describe a novel method for creating custom 3D-printed spectacle frames based on a 3D reconstruction of a prior computed tomography scan. This method offers the ability to create better-fitting spectacles to children who are not served by "off the rack" frames.
