HVID stands for which measurement?

• A. Horizontal Visible Iris Distance
• B. Horizontal Vascular Iris Diameter
• C. Horizontal Visible Inner Diameter
• D. Horizontal Visible Iris Diameter

Answer: (D)

The main concept is recognizing what HVID measures: the horizontal visible iris diameter. This is the straight-line distance across the visible portion of the iris, measured along the horizontal axis from one limbus to the other. That wording—Horizontal Visible Iris Diameter—accurately conveys which part of the eye is being measured (the iris, not the sclera or pupil), the orientation (horizontal), and the type of measurement (diameter). The other phrasings change either the meaning or the scope: using distance instead of diameter, focusing on vascular aspects of the iris, or implying an inner or different part of the eye. None of those truly describes the standard measurement across the visible iris.
