Note from asker:
Hi Louisa, I think it is a kind of reference for the user who will wear the spectacles. The patent is about a pair of spectacles, I hesitate to use "horizontal reference"
Peer comment(s):
neutral B D Finch : This doesn't work in the context, which is that of the optician using a horizontal reference to ensure that the patient is holding their head so that their eyes are level with each other.

Peer comment(s):
agree chris collister : or reference point (though it could be a line). Marker?// Hmm, even with one eye, I can still see a point!

Thanks Chris. As the subject has two eyes, it must be a line, not a point!//It'd be easier to use a line: "ses yeux soient disposés à une même hauteur par rapport à un référentiel horizontal".
