specs
Bifocals, for example
Specs is informal for spectacles—eyeglasses: I can't read the menu without my specs.
The word also shortens specifications, the detailed requirements or measurements for a project, product, or system: The engineer reviewed the specs before approving the design.
Context usually makes the meaning clear.
