How to use our PD measurement tool.

Step 1

Grab a regular card with a magnetic stripe on the back. Student IDs, credit cards and gift cards work well as measurement tools.

Step 2

Place the card under your nose and try to keep its distance from the camera the same as your eyes. Snap the picture and drop it on the marked area.

Step 3

Mark your left and right eyes by dragging the individual eye markers + centered over each eye. Then mark the left and right sides of the magnetic stripe by dragging the "L" and "R" vertical lines. Your PD will be shown at the top right!
