PD (Pupillary Distance) - distance between centers of your pupils
How do I read my PD measurement on my prescription?
PD can be written on your prescription in a couple different ways.
Below is a chart with some of the most common ways PD is written.
PD looks like: | PD measurement is: | For glasses that are: | Enter on Rx page as: |
---|---|---|---|
P.D.: 63 | Binocular PD measurement for both eyes (OU) | Single-Vision | 63 |
P.D.: 30.5 / 30 | Monocular PD for both eyes. The first number stands for the right eye (OD) and the second number stands for the left eye (OS) | Single-Vision | RT30.5 LT30 |
P.D.:65/62 | Distance/Near Binocular PD measurement for both eyes | Progressive/bi-focal | Distance 65 Near 62 |
Measuring your own PD is much easier done than it sounds.
Iramar Vision recommends this method as the most precise because the dots you are
putting on the lenses mark the points through which you are actually looking -
which is exactly what PD measurement is used to determine.
Just follow the instructions below:
Our recommendation is to repeat the steps at least twice to ensure accuracy.
If you need a near PD for reading or computer glasses, follow the same procedure but focus on the object you will be looking at -- either reading material or your computer monitor. Your near PD will be approximately 2-3mm less than your distance PD.
The markings on the lenses will easily come off with alcohol once you have determined your correct pupillary distance (PD).
Helpful hint: An average PD for an adult ranges between 55 and 69.
