WHAT IS A PD (PUPILLARY DISTANCE)?
The PD or Pupillary Distance is the distance between your pupils. This measurement is necessary for the accuracy of your prescription lenses to be fitted to the frame. It is usually between 50 and 75. The number is often made up of two parts eg 65/62. This corresponds to a PD of 65 for distance and 62 for near. If you’re only getting glasses for distance only put in the first number or if for near the second. If you’re unsure enter the entire number sequence. Please ensure your eye care professional includes this information on your prescription. An average male PD is 64/60 and an average female PD is 62/59.
