Q: Why is there a charge for PD measurements?

A:  The measurement of a patient’s pupil distance is a service that we provide, but is not considered part of the eye exam.

PD (pupil distance) is measured by one of our Opticians when new prescription glasses are ordered, and varies individually. The PD is used to determine the alignment of your pupil for proper clarity of your prescription when placed in RX lenses and inserted into a frame.
