Ok Fezz, here's your chance...
I'm going to be covering the office while everyone's at lunch, and I might need to take a pd. Any pointers ?

Johns,
Maybe you should refer these "PD" measurements out to someone more qualified.
Are there any OD's in the office? How about an MD you can call?
Maybe an Auntie Anne's Pretzel's waitstaff member? A Sears Hardware desk clerk? Better yet, a Walmart greeter. They can do anything!
This may be out of your league. I don't know if I would feel very confident if it was my kids PD you were taking!
This optics stuff is not for the faint of heart~:D
Laugh it up guys. You are dissing yourselves, your profession, and this forum.
All the OD's are on vacation, so we hired the WM greeter to do the exams.
He's too busy to help me with the PD crisis.
We did get the light on the pupilometer to go on, but then every time we hold it up, the light goes out again. It's not the batteries because we've already put 8 fresh ones in.

We're just having a little Holiday fun...
Try it, you might be surprised how enjoyable life can be when you loosen up a bit!
Happy Holidays!:cheers:
As I said before, I am sorry.
My New Years Resolution: Buy a round for any uptight OD that I encounter.
fjpod, may I buy this round?
:cheers::cheers::cheers:
;)
Need I say more!
You guys actually make did make me laugh, but not at what you think.
;)
why don't you just print and cut out one of those online rulers that our friendly online glasses sellers use.
You're inspiring me to dig up my thread from last year- New Years Resolutions-
This years is to stop procrastinating and start it again!
Maybe tomorrow
Anyone can feel free to find it and start it anew:cheers:

A wise decision for one so young.:bbg:
a Pointer...........................
Lock the door...............hang up the sign "CLOSED FOR LUNCH"
CLOSED FOR LUNCHLicensed PD Measuring Optician will be back at 1.30
Hee heee hee. Good one Chris:D
What's a PD anyway?:shiner:
I think it is a personal device used for listening it music.
Listen, if I do not have to shorten and fit temples, nose pads, or glasses at all properly, and then I do not need to take a PD.
As long as a persons eyes are between their ears, I'm a pretty good estimigator.
I recommend we start the International PD Registry. All patients are required to have their PD measured by individuals licensed after an intense 10-minute internet-based course. High levels of professionalism will be strictly adhered to. No Strawberry Shortcake or Spongebob measuring devices will be allowed.
The resulting measurement will be tattooed behind the left ear. If the examiner has taken the 5-minute skills upgrade course, then monocular PDs may be recorded behind the corresponding ear.
I know this will require growing children to have several measurements taken but a good artist will be able to change the old numbers into nice designs like flowers or Gaelic patterns.
Hopefully this will alleviate the difficulty faced by opticians worldwide.
I have placed Johns on the "remedial" list. If he applies to become an examiner he will be required to pass a 2 week course on PD stick safety. This course is run in early January at the Interpupillary Institute in Reykjavik, Iceland. Safety glasses will be necessary.
The IIR of Iceland uses the gaussien scale for P.D.s as does the University of Lower Slobovia. In this method, the pd is measured from pupil to pupil, going AROUND the back of the head. This means the PDs are often in the order of 220 mm or so, leading Westerners to conclude Slobovians have REALLY big heads when we consider a PD of such proportions measured in the traditional method.
The formula for conversion:
X-Y(GPDxSPD)
Where: X is the total distance around the head, Y is the distance beteen pupils, and Gaussian PD minus Slobovian PD.
Good luck, and we really do have to much time on our hands.
How about the ruler that's stamped onto the outside of my Snoopy tackle box? If you push someone's face onto it, I'm sure it could leave an imprint.
