What Does PD Mean?

PD stands for the pupillary distance, and it refers to the distance in millimeters between the center of one pupil to the center of the other. 

Why it is so Important？

Wrong PD may result in viewing through a spot on the lens other than the ‘optical center’. You may experience blurriness, eye strain, double vision, headaches etc.
