Pupillary distance (PD). If you’re a prescription glasses wearer, you likely recall hearing the phrase. But what exactly does it pertain to and why do you need to have this number (or know how to measure PD yourself) in order to grab your pair of kickass Blenders Prescription eyewear?
Well, don’t sweat it. You know we’re always here for ya at Blenders HQ. Below, we’ve got the rundown on what pupillary distance is and even how to measure PD yourself!
Simply put, pupillary distance (PD) refers to the distance between the centers of your pupils. The measurement of this distance is of utmost importance because it determines precisely where you look through the lens of your glasses—if the measurement is inaccurate, your prescription eyewear won’t be correctly customized for your needs and your vision will suffer for it.
Pupillary distance is measures in millimeters. Kids normally come in between 43-58 mm, while adults rock out between 54-74 mm. Normally, your doctor includes your PD measurement on your prescription, but you can figure out that information all on your own!
Yup, that’s right. When you learn how to measure PD, you’re effectively hooking yourself up with a personalized eyewear fit… and we’ll tell ya precisely how to do so below.
Cool little note: This process works for measuring with near-sighted glasses, too. Just focus on a close-up object instead of one 20 feet away (such as your laptop or phone screen) and repeat the process outlined above.
That’s it! You’re all set!
