For bifocal and progressive lenses, two PD values are needed. In these cases, Yesglasses recommends getting your PD directly from your eye care professional.

The average pupillary distance for adults is between 54-74mm. The average pupillary distance for kids is 43-54.

You can measure your own PD with a ruler and a mirror. Be sure to note which eye you are measuring, read the ruler properly in your reflection, and take multiple measurements to check for accuracy. We highly recommend letting Yesglasses measure your PD for you!

In most cases, your optician will include your PD measurement in your prescription after the eye examination. If not, just ask for it! Your PD will be listed in a section separate from your eyes’ prescription either as two numbers for each eye’s distance from your nose bridge or a total number for the distance between your eyes. Give them a call if you’re unsure, or email us your prescription and we will take a look for you!
