Today we are going to teach you a trick to make those new glasses fit you perfectly: knowing what interpupillary distance is.
So what exactly is interpupillary distance?
DI is the distance in millimeters between the centers of your pupils. Without it, you might see the world a little crooked.
How do I know my interpupillary distance? If you visit our opticians, our professionals will measure it for you. If you buy online and need to know it, here are some practical tips to measure it yourself.
Tips for measuring your interpupillary distance at home.
1. Before you start: ask someone to help you measure yourself with a ruler. Keep in mind that the distance between your pupils is a certain length, so you will have to divide it by two.
2. If you don't get a round number when you divide to find the interpupillary distance between each eye, don't worry! It happens more often than you think... Simply round up as close as possible and we'll do the rest.
3. Normally, your interpupillary distance will be between 58 and 68 millimetres. If your case is different, or if you have a prescription greater than 6 diopters, it will be easier for you to call us.
We will help you in any way we can. Or come and visit us, it's always a pleasure to see you!
