That is a good question. From what I've seen, PD technically isn't part of the eye exam but a part of the glasses fitting, so the prescription rules may not apply. In the U.S., it is kind of a gray area it seems, at least in the U.S. Other countries, I have no idea. There's a lot of information on how to get PD out there, I'm sure you can find a way that will work for you. My biggest problem, along with my wife's, is we both have very dark brown eyes, so it's hard to see the pupils. Even so, I've managed to get a good measurement of mine that has worked just fine. I recently found this optical site that has some good info about fitting glasses and such there. Probably more than you'll need to know if you're buying online glasses, but better too much than not enough. http://www.opticianworks.com RedStickHam -- Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
