I asked for it after my exam as well and was told "I'm not allowed to give you that." I didn't push the issue since I already had it from another optometrist as I went to WalMart for a second opinion because that optometrist messed up my wife's prescription so badly it wasn't even funny.
The first optometrist's office had a printed tape from the machine that did the air puff and that said 62, and I had measured my own using a printed ruler from a glasses site and got 63. When the staff measured me with a ruler, they gave me 59/56, so I'm not sure who is right. Even though they had several pupillary distance readers, they said the batteries were dead in all of them so they had to measure with a ruler. I have used 62 and 63 and they both seem to be fine. Someone on the blog listed pdruler.com as selling what they call the "perfect PD ruler," so I've ordered one. It's costing me around $9 with shipping(the shipping is twice the price of the ruler), but I'd like to know for sure what my PD is, and what I save with online glasses more than pays for it.
