How to Measure Pupillary Distance?

Pupillary Distance measures the distance between the centers of your pupils. Normally the optician will measure your PD on your prescription. For average adult, PD is between 54mm - 74mm. For kids, it will be 43 - 58mm. Pupillary distance should be offered for most accuracy of the prescription lens made. You can also measure PD yourself.

Calculate Near PD For Reading Glasses

1. You can calculate Near PD for reading glasses by subtracting 3mm from your distance PD. For example, if your distance PD is 63mm, then your near PD is 60mm.

2. If you are using Dual PD to calculate near PD, then subtract 1.5mm from each eye’s measurement. For example, if your dual PD is 33/31mm then your near PD would be 31.5/29.5mm.
