What Is PD or Pupillary Distance
PD measures the distance between the pupils of your eyes. This measurement is important to make sure that your eyes match up to the optical centre of your lenses. The average adult's PD is around 63 mm. Armed with your prescription and PD, you can shop on Specscart.com to find your perfect pair. Your PD measurement is typically written beneath the prescription.
How can PD be measured?
PD can be measured in two ways. The first is binocular, which is a pupil-to-pupil measurement and involves a single measurement, like 63 mm. The other type of measurement is called monocular, which is a per-eye measurement from the pupil to the middle of the face. It is a double value measurement, like 31mm/31mm. Monocular measurements are most often used when the face is not perfectly symmetrical, meaning one eye is closer or farther from the middle of the face than the other. You can use a ruler to measure it by your own or download or template
ATTACH THE SCALE
PD(PUPILLARY DISTANCE): Distance in millimeters(mm) between the centers of the pupils in each eye. This measurement is used to make prescription glasses.
I don't know my PD
If you're unsure of your PD and don't have a spare pair of glasses to send us to get a PD measurement from, you can simply choose the "Use Average /I don't know my PD" option and we will use an average value of 63mm. If you have a higher prescription, we recommend you seek your correct PD value before placing your order.
How do I measure my PD at home?
Measuring your own PD is easy – simply buy a normal ruler or a printable PD ruler that can be downloaded here! You can always call us on +44(0)1613125767 for help.

How Fast Is Specscart Rocket
Single Vision lenses are for people who have trouble seeing either near or far (but not both). If you need a pair for both near and far vision, you should go for bi-focals or varifocals.
Varifocals are the superheroes of lenses. They allow you to see near and far using just one pair of varifocal glasses. They have a gradual change in vision from the top of the lens to bottom, which allows you to see all distances clearly through one lens. Unlike bi-focals, they do not have a dividing line within the lens. It is perfect for people who need to switch between long, intermediate, and short distances throughout the day.
You can choose from a wide variety of lens coatings such as:
You can also thin your lenses down on your opticians advise or prescription
