"A" Measurement - The horizontal distance between the furthest temporal and nasal edges of the lens shape or the distance between the vertical sides of the box. The A measurement is also commonly known as the eyesize . "B" Measurement - The vertical distance between the furthest top and bottom edges of the lens shape or the distance between the horizontal sides of the box. Datum Line - The horizontal line that runs through the vertical center of the frame. Geometric Center ( GC ) - The intersection of the Datum Line and horizontal centers of each lens shape. Distance Between Lenses ( DBL ) - The shortest distance between the nasal edges of each lens or the distance between boxes. DBL is also commonly referred to as bridge size . Distance Between Centers ( DBC ) - The horizontal distance between the geometric centers of the lenses. DBC is also know as the Geometric Center Distance (GCD) , but more c...
