## Abstract

An eyewear fitting system and methods of use are described. Embodiments of the eyewear fitting system can include a bust having a plurality of adjustable features. Typically, the adjustable features can include a pair of ears, a pair of eyes, a nose, a pair of cheeks, and a forehead. A user can adjust an individual, several, or all of the adjustable features to practice fitting eyewear frames to differently shaped faces. In one embodiment, a control module can be implemented to randomly alter the adjustable features to a allow student to practice fitting eyewear frames to a variety of differently shaped faces.
