Let’s be straight: as well as being necessary for good quality of life and good visual health, they also affect our personal appearance. That's why when we go shopping for new glasses, among other factors, we look for a pair that fit like a glove.
Today we’re going to show you a trick so that your new glasses adapt perfectly to you: knowing your interpupillary distance.
So, what exactly is interpupillary distance? The interpupillary distance is the distance between the centre of your right pupil and the centre of your left pupil (in millimetres).
This information is crucial when you’re buying new glasses because it’s essential to make sure you look through the right part of the lens. How do I measure my interpupillary distance? If you're going to one of our optical stores, don’t worry: our professionals will look after you and take the measurement. But if you want to buy online and want to know your own measurement, here are some tips to help make it easier.
Advice for measuring interpupillary distance at home. 1. Before you start, ask someone with you to help you measure yourself with a ruler. Bear in mind that if the distance between your pupils is a certain length, you will have to divide it by two to calculate the pupillary distance of each eye.
2. If, when you divide the interpupillary distance by two you don’t get a round number, don’t worry! This happens more often than you think... Just round it off to the nearest round number and we’ll do the rest.
3. It's normal for your interpupillary distance to range from 58 to 68 millimetres. If it's any different in your case, or you have a prescription in excess of 6 diopters, it would be easier for you to call us. We’ll do everything we can to help. Or come see us.
