MDA – Greater width of the rim or diagonal -Obtained by scanning with the rulerPA – Bridge+Rim - as always in the height where position the optical centers.

A – width rimB – lens heightDEL – Distance between lenses

The virtual rectangle that contains the rim determines the dimensions of the frame.

• Influence in the analysis frame, as measurements are marked on the stem width "bridge" refers shaft length where the proposed new "bridge" is in fact the distance between the lenses.

• This can influence particularly in automatic assembly where assemblers use the bridge information to fitting rimless and semi rimless glasses.

The end of one lens to the other one.
