You need to know your pupillary distance (PD) in millimeters (mm). This is the distance between the eyes. It can be measured and recorded in two ways:
- “Binocular” Pupillary Distance: the total distance between the center of the two eyes: reported as a single number
- “Monocular” Pupillary Distance: the distance between the center of each eye and the midline of the nose: reported as a number for each eye
- Your doctor can measure your pupillary distance at that time of your exam - just ask
- There are online tools to measure pupillary distance: CLICK TO TRY THE ZENNI OPTICAL PD TOOL
Online glasses sellers usually do not accept insurance. Most insurances will not reimburse you for the price of glasses purchased online, but each insurance is different. You may contact your insurance if you are not sure.
