Here at Bailey Nelson, we’re all about looking after your eyes, because let’s face it, they’re pretty important for all the amazing things you do! To make sure your prescription is spot on, we need something called a Pupillary Distance (PD) measurement. Don’t worry, it’s not as tricky as it sounds. You can drop by any of our stores, and one of our friendly team members will take care of it for you. Alternatively, if you’re at home, follow the simple steps below.
Whilst the distance between your pupils is one length, you'll have to halve it to work out the PD for each eye, e.g. if your PD is 60mm, your left and right eyes will be 30mm each.
If you can't halve your PD to a round number, no problem - split them to the closest 0.5mm, e.g. if your PD is 60.5mm, fill in: right = 30mm, left = 30.5mm. We see this quite a bit so, don't worry, we know how to deal with it.
The average PD is somewhere between 59-68mm. If yours falls outside this, or you have a prescription over +/-6SPH, get in touch with us at hello@baileynelson.com and we'll give you a helping hand.
