PD Ruler Pupillary Distance Ruler Straight Edge Optical Vernier Eye Pupil Distance Meter Ophthalmic Tool Stainless Steel

This is a tool that can be used by the individual alone or help by someone else if your vision will not allow you to accurately measure the PD. So easy to use, just put the oval part on your nose, the line should be right in the center of the pupil. Turn it around, lay it on your nose, and measure the pupil of the other eye. That is all there is to it.

Bought for my son to get his measurements to order glasses online and man was it ever helpful…would recommend this if you want to order glasses online..

This is just what I wanted but the bridge where you place your nose is wide and messes with the Left/Right eye measurements. I had a tendency to push the ruler away from the hand that held it so I ended up taking multiple measurements while switching between hands and averaging the results. Perhaps a more triangular (less round) nose bridge would have reduced the variation?I also used a telephoto lens at 7 meter distance to take pictures and measure the PD's. In the photos you can see more easily when the ruler is being pushed to one side or the other.

Measuring your pupil distance (PD) for online frames should be easier. I just received this ruler for PD and will need to watch a YouTube vid on how to use it, order glasses online, then see if the glasses work for my vision to give a true rating on this ruler. It's a solid ruler and if the PD thing is off, I will use it for journaling. 😊🌷

It is good could use some info

Better off with digital unit even though its more expensive. Print marking too small to be seen or accurate

Your pupillary distance is conveniently left OFF eyeglasses prescriptions so that without that measurement you can’t buy glasses on-line. I went into the conveniently located optician store connected to the MD office got a $700 quote, and decided to check out glasses on line. I had the script but not the PD. I called the ——-‘n optician and asked her for my PD. She said , “We can’t give that out.” I said ,”Why not?” She said, “We just don’t. “. And that is the same story most places. Here’s the reason: So you can’t buy on-line glasses at a third the price!! But you can measure your own PD with this device easily! Follow the simple directions. The opticians overcharge and are BAD NEWS. He who laughs last laughs loudest!

This tool told me my PD was 28 in each eye. I had to get measured at optometrist shortly after where I was 31 in each eye. I got glasses online with 28 and it's fine, but not 100 percent accurate.
