Grab These Things First 📝

Your Device

Let's Do This! 🚀

Step 1: Set Up Your Shot

Think selfie, but with a twist! Here's how to nail the perfect setup:

  • 1.Hold your card (or whatever you're using) right under your nose - yep, like a funny mustache! Make sure it's straight across, not tilted.
  • 2.Position yourself arm's length from the camera (about 40-50cm). Just like taking a regular selfie!
  • 3.Look straight ahead and try not to smile (I know, boring - but it helps with accuracy)

Step 2: Take Your Picture

This part's super easy! Just hit the 'Choose Photo' button and snap your pic. Got a good one? Great! Let's move on to the fun part.

Step 3: Mark Those Pupils

Now for some point-and-click action:

  1. 1. Click right in the center of your left pupil (the black part)
  2. 2. Do the same for your right pupil
  3. 3. You'll see red dots appear - pretty cool, right?

Step 4: Mark Your Reference Object

Last step! Click the left and right edges of your reference object (card, bill, etc.). Green dots will appear, and boom - you'll get your PD measurement!

🌟 Pro Tips

  • â€ĸ Take a few measurements and use the average
  • â€ĸ If you wear glasses, take them off for the measurement
  • â€ĸ Natural daylight works best, but any even lighting is fine

That's it! You've just saved yourself a trip to the optician. Easy peasy! 😊
