Caliper
Geneva lens gauge
A small millimeter ruler
An index card

Explanation

Answer: C - A small millimeter ruler

A small millimeter ruler is used to measure the vertex distance of a pair of eyeglasses. The vertex distance is the distance from the front of the cornea to the back surface of a lens. This is important because lenses have a different power depending on how close or far they rest from the cornea.
