I found an answer here:
http://www.stingyspecs.com.au/entering-prescription.html

"BAL: If you see the word 'Bal' or 'Balance' in the glasses
prescription for one eye, then enter BAL as the sphere power for that
eye. The word 'Balance' or 'Bal' is used to show that the prescription
in that eye is not important, as the eye has no useful vision. When
balance is entered, then a lens of similar power to the good eye is
used for the balance lens, this makes the glasses look 'balanced'."
