Been thinking on giving them a try.

I have recent prescription but not a measurement for PD
or whatever it is called.

Advice?

Don't they give instructions?

If you live near Yuma you might want to try Algodones Optical just over the
border in Mexico.

Do you have any glasses you dont use anymore lying around ?

They should be able to use those to work it out.

Zenni has info on how to measure PD. Try clicking the ? on the entry
form, or looking at the FAQ on prescriptions.

PD is the distance between your pupils. You measure it by holding a
ruler up to your eyes. It is hard to get an accurate measure on
yourself, you need someone else to read the ruler. There is also a
differences between near and far focus, you want the one appropriate
to the glasses you are ordering.

As has been pointed out, it's the difference between pupil centers.

You can do this yourself by holding up a ruler (cm) and centering it on
your pupils. It's more dependent on who can line this up the ruler right.

There's a hand held device the stores use. It's automatic and easy.
What that does is give you a different measure for each eye (which total
the overall PD). Perhaps you can get a reading, I did.

I broke my glasses a while back and found the price for one lens was
huge, so I shopped online. I went here:

http://www.globaleyeglasses.com/

My girlfriend looked at all the frames ,the $20 frames, the $50
frames and up to the $119 frames, and the one she liked best was $3.00.
Probably suits me. I believe the cost for progressive lens (standard
blanks) et all totaled out at $39. It took a couple weeks to get them.
I'm happy although I keep my $3 frames in the case when I'm not wearing
them.
