Pupillary Distance And How Is It Measured
Pupillary distance, also known as “PD” is a measurement in millimeters of the distance between the centers of your pupils.
This measurement is particularly useful when it comes to aligning your eyeglass lenses with your pupils to ensure the best fit, comfort, and viewing ability.
When ordering optical glasses from Mita, you will need to know your PD.
