How to measure your PD
Can't find your PD within your prescription? You can easily measure it with our print-out tool.
Just a few steps, just a few minutes:
- Print the tool on a standard 8.5/11 letter-format page or on your cellphone or tablet
- Make sure the dimensions are right by placing a credit card or ID over the designated area
- Fold the ruler where prescribed or drag the ruler to the edge of your cellphone/tablet
- Stand about 20cm (8in) in front of a miror and place the ruler over your eyes, right in front of your forehead
- Close your right eye and align the ruler's zero with the center of your left pupil
- Open your right eye, close your left eye and note the reading right in front of your right pupil. This is your PD
- Repeat a few times (2-3) to confirm the value's exactitude
