Familiarity with frame measurements and how they are marked is essential to proper ordering of prescription glasses.
![Page 3: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
DATUM SYSTEM
![Page 4: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
THE OLDER DATUM SYSTEM A line drawn halfway between the two
horizontal lines and parallel to them was known as the datum line.
The width of the lens along this line was called the datum length or eye size.
The point along the datum line halfway between the edges of the lens is the datum center.
![Page 5: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The depth of the lens measured as the vertical depth through the datum center, was the mid-datum depth.
The datum system preceded the currently used boxing

THE BOXING SYSTEM
![Page 7: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
THE BOXING SYSTEM Geometric Center
The center of the lens is the point on the horizontal midline halfway between the two lens-bordering vertical lines. It is known as the geometric center or boxing center of the edged lens.
This term does not imply anything about the optical positioning of the lens
![Page 8: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Size The size of the lens then is the length and
depth of the box containing the lens.
The horizontal length is now commonly referred to as the eye size when referring to the frame and the lens size when referring to the lenses. Both are measured in millimeters.
![Page 9: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
They are referring primarily to the horizontal measure of the lens, denoted by the letter “A”.
The letter “B” denotes the vertical measure of the box enclosing the lens.
The letter “C” refers to the width of the lens itself along the horizontal midline.

Horizontal measure of the lens
![Page 11: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Effective Diameter
The effective diameter of a lens is found by doubling the distance from the geometric center of the lens to the apex of the lens bevel farthest from it.
![Page 12: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Frame Difference
The difference between the horizontal and the vertical measurements is known as the frame difference and Is measured in millimeters.
Frame difference is sometimes referred to as lens difference.
![Page 13: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Frame Difference

Distance Between Lenses (DBL) or Bridge Size The DBL is the distance between the two
boxes when both lenses are boxed off in the frame.
This distance is measured in millimeters.
![Page 15: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DBL
![Page 16: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Geometric Center Distance (GCD) The distance between the two geometric
centers of the lenses is known as the geometric center distance (GCD).
Or the geometric center distance can be calculated by simply adding the eye size to the DBL.The result is the same.
![Page 17: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The GCD is also known by three other names:
1. Distance between centers (DBC)2. Frame center distance3. Frame PD The term frame PD is commonly
used in dispensing, but has no relationship to the wearer’s inter pupillary distance or distance between pupil centers.

Seg Height When specifying bifocal or trifocal segment
height, the reference points are given in millimeters as either
(l) The distance below or above the horizontal midline (called seg drop or seg raise)
(2) the distance from the lower line of the boxing system rectangle enclosing the lens shape (called seg height).
![Page 19: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
TEMPLE LENGTH
Most temples are currently marked with the total, or overall, temple length. Temple lengths are expressed in millimeters.
![Page 20: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Overall Temple Length
The overall temple length is the distance from the center of the center barrel screw hole to the posterior end of the temple, measured along the center of the temple.
![Page 21: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Length to Bend (LTB) An older method of measuring temple length
is in terms of the length to bend (LTB). This is measured from the center of the barrel
to the middle of the bend . The distance from the middle of the temple
bend to the end of the temple is known as the length of drop
![Page 22: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Front to Bend (FTB)
In this case the temple length could be specified as frame to bend (FTB) which would be slightly longer than LTB.
This measurement method is seldom used
![Page 23: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
FRAME MARKINGS
Most frames are marked according to size with three measurements: eye size, DBL, and temple length.
Metal frames that are manufactured from “rolled gold” are also marked as to the amount of gold found in the frame.
![Page 24: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Eye Size and DBL When a frame marking such as 50 □20 is
seen, it means that the eye size is 50 mm and the distance between lenses is 20 mm.
The box - the eye size is measured according to the boxing method.
The eye size and DBL are sometimes simply marked 50-20 or 50/20.
![Page 25: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

How to measure…….
![Page 27: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Location of Markings
plastic frame Printed on the inside of the nose pad, or on
the upper outer section of the eye wire. Back side of the end piece, and the temple
must be folded closed to find it. On one end piece and the DBL on the other.
![Page 28: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Metal framesEye size and DBL are usually on the inside of
the bridge or on the temples.
![Page 29: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Frame Manufacturer Name, Color, and Country of Origin Frames should also be marked as to country
of origin, manufacturer, and frame name. Many frame manufacturers use a number rather than a name.
Consulting a frame reference catalog or database will help.
![Page 30: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Safety Frame Markings
Frames that are suitable for use as safety glasses must have “Z87” or “Z87-2” and the name or logo of the manufacturer stamped on the frame front and on both temples.
![Page 31: Frame measurementsand markings](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061508/5876ab311a28abd6508b79ad/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Gold Classifications for Metal Frames With Substantial Gold Content Metal frames may not have any gold or any
significant amount of gold in the frame.
Gold or part-gold articles can be classified as fine gold, solid gold, gold filled, or having gold plating or gold flashing.
The karat system is used to determine the amount of gold present
