eyesize or horizontal measurement across the lens of the frame. The higher
the number, the larger the frame. If you currently have glasses, you can
check the size on either the inside of either temple arm or the inside bridge of
your current glasses. It is a 2 digit number often followed by a
square and a second, smaller 2 digit number. E.G. 50[]18
