What is Pupillary Distance?
Pupillary Distance (PD) is the distance between the centers of your pupils, measured in millimeters. This measurement is vital for accurately aligning your prescription lenses with your eyes, so you can enjoy the best possible vision.
How to Measure Your Pupillary Distance
Follow these easy steps to measure your pupillary distance:
- Get a ruler: You'll need a ruler with millimeter markings for accurate measurements. A millimeter is the standard unit for pupillary distance.
- Stand in front of a mirror: Find a well-lit area with a mirror to ensure you can see your pupils clearly.
- Position the ruler: Hold the ruler horizontally, with the "0" end lined up with the center of one pupil. Make sure the ruler is resting against your forehead to keep it stable.
- Measure the distance: Look straight ahead and measure the distance from the center of one pupil to the center of the other pupil. This is your pupillary distance.
- Record the measurement: Write down your pupillary distance to use when ordering your prescription glasses for large heads or prescription sunglasses for large heads.
Tips for Accurate Pupillary Distance Measurements
- Take multiple measurements and find the average to ensure accuracy.
- Ask a friend or family member to help you measure if you're having trouble doing it on your own.
- Make sure you're looking straight ahead and not tilting your head during the measurement.

Q: Can I measure my PD with my phone?
A: Yes, you can measure your PD with your phone using specialized apps that are available for iOS and Android. These apps use your phone's camera and display to help you measure your pupillary distance accurately.
Q: Why isn't my PD on my prescription?
A: Pupillary distance is not always included on eyeglass prescriptions because it's considered a fitting measurement rather than a prescription measurement. You can request your PD from your optometrist or measure it yourself using the methods mentioned above.
Q: Does pupillary distance have to be exact?
A: While it's essential to have an accurate pupillary distance measurement for optimal vision, small variations in PD are usually tolerable. However, more significant discrepancies can lead to eyestrain and discomfort, so it's best to get an accurate measurement.
Q: Why don't optometrists give PD?
A: Some optometrists may not include PD on your prescription because it's considered a fitting measurement, and they expect the eyewear provider to take care of it. If your PD is not included, you can ask your optometrist to provide it or measure it yourself.
Q: What happens if pupillary distance is wrong?
A: If your pupillary distance is incorrect, it can result in eyestrain, headaches, and blurred vision. It's essential to have an accurate PD measurement to ensure your prescription lenses are properly aligned with your eyes.
Q: How quickly does pupillary distance change?
A: Pupillary distance typically remains stable throughout adulthood. However, changes in PD can occur due to age, weight loss or gain, or surgery. It's a good idea to remeasure your PD if you suspect any changes or are experiencing discomfort with your current glasses.
Q: What is the average PD for a man and a woman?
A: The average pupillary distance for men is around 64mm, while for women, it's approximately 62mm. These values can vary significantly between individuals, so it's essential to measure your PD for the most accurate lens alignment.
Q: Can PD be different in each eye?
A: Yes, some people may have different PD values for each eye, known as monocular PD. In such cases, it's crucial to measure the distance from the center of the nose to the center of each pupil separately and provide both measurements when ordering glasses.
