What is my pupillary distance (PD) and how do I obtain it?
PD is the distance from the centre of the pupil (black spot) in one eye to the centre of the pupil in the other eye. This measurement improves the positioning of your lenses within the frame you have chosen. It can be provided in minutes by your optician or doctor, and so we recommend that you ask for it when you have your eyes tested. Alternatively, you may also choose to use an average PD, which is provided for you by our dispensing opticians on the order form.

Unless you provide us with a PD measurement for your glasses we will supply lenses set to an average PD which are based on an known survey and works well for most of our customers.

Before leaving the opticians make sure your prescription is legible.
