Frequently asked questions
Binocular vs monocular?
Binocular is the total; monocular splits right (OD) and left (OS).
Equal split accurate?
Only an estimate—measured monocular PDs are better.
What formula does the Pupillary Distance Calculator use?
It uses: Binocular PD = OD monocular + OS monocular. The result page also shows a step-by-step breakdown of how your answer was calculated.
