Print scale check

Standard ID-1 card
85.60 × 53.98 mm

Check edge-to-edge against a standard ID-1 bank card. If it does not match, do not use this ruler. Reprint at actual size.

Hold the ruler above your eyes without moving it. Align zero with one pupil, then read the other pupil position; a helper and distant fixation are preferable. Repeat three times. For prescriptions or progressive lenses, ask an optician to confirm PD. Near PD minus 3mm is only a heuristic.

Reconstructed local ruler for The Face Rating; based on the original site’s printable-scale function. No photo or account needed.

UNDERSTAND THE TOOL

What printable pd ruler can show.

The printable PD ruler provides a physical reference and scale check. It complements the photo guide without uploading a photo or using AI.

How to use it

  1. Print at actual size, without fit-to-page scaling.
  2. Check the printed reference against a known physical measurement.
  3. Follow the on-page ruler instructions and confirm eyewear measurements professionally.

How to interpret your result

Printer scaling and positioning can introduce errors. A printable ruler does not replace professional prescription measurements.
