The distance between the centre of your two pupils is known as the pupillary distance (PD). • This length, which is also called the interpupillary distance (IPD), is measured in millimetres. • The measurement ensures that your prescribed frames are centred in front of your eyes when purchasing a new pair of glasses to avoid unwanted problems. A PD measurement is vital for people with high-power prescriptions.

Whereas, reading PD measurements are only used to prescribe glasses that would be used for reading. • To get your PD, visit your opticians london. Opticians will make use of a pupillary distance ruler which is calibrated in millimetres. • It is important to know what your pupillary distance is and how it is used in prescribing a pair of glasses for you. • Your PD is essential in fitting a pair of glasses and should be performed by a professional optician or support staff.
