To order customers simply choose a frame design that they like and then enter their individual prescription including their pupillary distance (also known as PD). The latter is the distance between the pupils (centre to centre) of the eyes in millimetres. Corrected lens glasses can not be made without this information. The correct PD is particularly important when making a multi focal lens.
Unfortunately, many opticians are reluctant to give out this information – the PD is often left out of the prescription even though it is usually held on the person’s file. As a result customers have no option but to order their eyeglasses from the optician where they had their eye test. Some people feel that this is unfair as the customer is denied the option of choosing from the great choice of online eyeglasses that would otherwise be available to them.
