How To Measure Eye PD?

Use a millimeter ruler or a PD measuring app

Stand about 8 inches away from a mirror

Keep your head straight and look at your reflection

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

Open your right eye and close your left eye

Read the millimeter mark that lines up with the center of your right pupil

Record the distance as your distance PD

Repeat the measurement 2 to 3 times and average the results

For near PD, measure while focusing on a point about 13 to 16 inches away

Ask someone to measure from the center of one pupil to the center of the other if needed

Use a professional eye exam for the most accurate PD measurement
