How do they get all the measurements like the optician does? For example the
distance between your eyes; the width of your face? Not being critical, just
curious because I have a difficult Rx.



Look at their web page.Â* You can download a 'ruler' on paper that you
can have someone look at for you, or look in a mirror to get the pupil
distance if the eye doctor will not give that to you .

An optometrist/ophthalmologist is required by law to give you a complete prescription that you can take elsewhere.Â* If they don't, report them and take your business elsewhere.

But they are not required to give you the pupil distance needed to properly make a pair of glasses.Â* Not knowing that, the prescription is useless.


I'd find a new eye doctor if they didn't include PD, especially if asked.

And unless your head has been run over by a concrete truck, your PD is unlikely to change in adulthood so it's not necessary to measure on every visit.
