Pupil distance measurements
How to Measure Your Pupillary Distance?
What is the pupillary distance?
Pupillary distance refers to the distance between your two eyes. More specifically, it consists of two half-distances, measured from the bridge of your nose (center of your face) to the center of each pupil. The right half-distance combined with the left half-distance makes up your total pupillary distance.
When fitting eyeglasses, it’s necessary to know both half-spacings (right and left) to ensure a proper fit and guarantee absolute comfort for the wearer.
