How to Calculate Pupillary Distance?

Use a millimeter ruler

Stand about 8 inches away from a mirror

Close your right eye and align the 0 mm mark with the center of your left pupil

Keep the ruler steady and open your right eye

Read the measurement at the center of your right pupil

That number is your pupillary distance in millimeters

For single PD, measure from the center of one pupil to the center of the other

For dual PD, measure from the center of each pupil to the bridge of the nose

Repeat the measurement a few times and average the results

Ask an optician to measure it if you want the most accurate result
