How AI Tech Precisely Measures Customer Pupillary Distance

Measuring pupillary distance used to be a process that involved preparing a credit card to align in front of the camera or traveling to an optometrist. Thankfully, those days are behind us! Now there are several ways to measure pupillary distance without preparations or leaving home.

In this blog post, we will discuss two methods: online and with an app. Read on to learn more about how to measure PD or go to our demo store to experience it directly!

Let's get started!


What is PD?

Pupillary Distance (PD) is the distance between the centers of the pupil in each eye. It is important to measure pupillary distance when fitting glasses or contact lenses, as this ensures that the optical center of the lens is in line with the pupil to improve the visual acuity of the customers and prevents eye strain.

The average pupillary distance is between 55-70mm, but it can vary depending on age, ethnicity, and other factors. If the customers want to measure PD, there are a few common ways they can do it at home.

Single PD

Single pupillary distance (SPD) is the distance between the centers of the two pupils in your eyes. This measurement is generally recorded in millimeters (mm).

Single Pupillary Distance

Dual PD

Double pupillary distance (PD) is a measurement of the distance between the center of one pupil to the center of the other. So you'll have the PD left, and a PD right.

 Dual Pupillary Distance

Pupillary Distance Changes

Pupillary distance (PD) is the distance in millimeters between the centers of the pupils in each eye. It is important to have an accurate PD measurement when ordering glasses or contact lenses, as this will ensure that the eyewear is properly aligned with the eyes. While PD can remain relatively stable over time, it can also change on a day-to-day basis. 

 The pupillary distance of the same person may vary.

Factors such as fatigue, dehydration, and certain medications can all cause PD to vary. As a result, it is important to measure the PD each time glasses or contacts are ordered. With today's technology, this can be easily done using a smartphone app or an online PD tool.

Why Do We Need to Measure PD - Integrate the PD measurement to virtual glasses or sunglasses try on

As anyone who has shopped for glasses knows, it is important to know your pupillary distance (PD). Most people don't know their PD, and as a result, they have a less-than-ideal experience when shopping for glasses. 

When they go to pick out frames, they have no way of knowing if the glasses will actually fit their face. Then, when they go to check out, they find out that they need to provide their PD in order to complete the purchase. 


This can lead to canceled orders and frustrated customers. It is therefore very important for businesses who sell glasses to make sure that they know the customer's PD before they start shopping. By doing so, they can ensure a better customer experience and reduce returns.
