Zenni Optical

 

Been thinking on giving them a try.

I have recent prescription but not a measurement for PD
or whatever it is called.

Advice?

Don't they give instructions?

If you live near Yuma you might want to try Algodones Optical just over the
border in Mexico.

Do you have any glasses you dont use anymore lying around ?

They should be able to use those to work it out.

 


Zenni has info on how to measure PD.  Try clicking the ? on the entry
form, or looking at the FAQ on prescriptions.

PD is the distance between your pupils.  You measure it by holding a
ruler up to your eyes.  It is hard to get an accurate measure on
yourself, you need someone else to read the ruler.  There is also a
differences between near and far focus, you want the one appropriate
to the glasses you are ordering.

Yeah, I tried that myself, then found it on one of the older prescriptions.

I was a couple of mm out.


Its easy to convert between one and the other, there is a 3 mm difference.
