These sizing terms are described on a site called sunglasspicks.com that I have pasted here:Eyewear Measurements -Glasses have three primary sizes you need to know about.
Eye sizeis the width of the lenses at the widest part. It’s the most common measurement you’ll see in reference to the size of glasses.
Bridge sizemeasures the piece of metal or plastic that connects the lenses. In order to measure the bridge, you start and end at the innermost side of the lenses and measure to the same spot on the other side of the bridge.
Temple sizeis the measurement of the arms of the sunglasses. Also called the temples, the measurement of the arms starts at the hinges and continues in a straight line to the farthest point without sloping downward.
There’s one more thing you might want to know, thevertical measurementtells you how tall your glasses are. This doesn’t always help unless you’re ordering prescription sunglasses that require special lenses but regardless, it is measured from the bottommost part of the lens straight up to the top.
