How to read my Prescription?
Confused about how to read your description? Please follow the instructions below:
First you should go to your eye-doctor to check if you need glasses and provide you with a prescription. Most prescriptions are written in horizontal rows. Usually you will find the prescription for the right eye (OD) on the first row and the prescription for the left eye (OS) on the second row. On these rows you will be able to see the values: SPH (Sphere), CYL (Cylinder), AXIS and PD.
SPH number specifies if you are nearsighted or farsighted. Typically SPH numbers are between -20.00 and 20.00 (-20.00<SPH<20.00). Negative SPH number on the Prescription is for nearsighted and Positive SPH number on the Prescription is for farsighted.
CYL and AXIS values are being used for astigmatism correction.
PD is the distance from the center of the one pupil to the center of the other pupil. You cannot order your prescription glasses without the PD value.
If your prescription has also ADD values then these values will be used for the reading power of Bifocal or Progressive Lenses.

How to Measure your PD?
Confused about how to measure your PD? Please follow the instructions below:
Pupillary Distance – AKA “PD” – is always measured in millimeters and it is defined as the distance from the center of the one pupil to the center of the other pupil, of one’s eyes.
Of course there is an average on which you may consider, regarding the pupillary distance, but this is something we strongly advise that you will only take as a reference and you will not rely your actual orders on it.
For example, the average pupillary distance for a male adult is about 64 mm, for a female adult is about 61.7 mm and for children about 53 mm. Once again these measurements are only as references and not as guides.
What you need to know is that there two fundamental ways to measure your “PD”:
- Single PD: A single PD (or binocular PD) is the measurement of distance, in millimeters, from the center of one pupil to the center of the other pupil.
- Dual PD: Dual PD (or monocular PD) is the measurement of distance, in millimeters, of the center of each pupil to the center of the bridge of your nose.
From the two measurement methods, Dual PD is thought-out to be the most precise measurement method because the distance between one’s pupils to the center of their nose, is quite unique to each person.
PD is extremely important, especially when trying to acquire glasses with progressive lenses, which it is a requirement to have an exact lens-to-pupil adjustment to confirm the best possible vision at all distances.
If you have a millimeter ruler and a mirror at your house? Then you are more than capable to measure your PD all by yourself!
- Stand away from your mirror about 203 mm (or 8 inches distance).
- Hold a ruler against your brow.
- Close your right eye then align the ruler’s 0 mm with the center of your left pupil.
- Look straight then close your left eye and open your right eye.
- The mm line that lines up to the center of your right pupil is your PD.
And that’s about it.
You have now found the distance between the centers of your pupils which corresponds to the single pupillary distance.
