PDCheck AR

PDCheck AR estimates far and near pupillary distance using a compatible Face ID iPhone.

Our take

Consider only as a measurement to verify independently

Separate near/far and left/right readings support reference checks.

Keep in mind: Requires a Face ID-capable iPhone X or later; phone estimates may be wrong and should not replace an optician’s measurement for consequential eyewear orders.

What you can do

  • Position a supported device for AR measurement
  • View eligible distance/near PD
  • Check left/right results against a trusted measurement

Good for

  • Users cross-checking an eyewear reference

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting a complete eye exam or guaranteed fitting accuracy

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 13.0.
  • Requires a Face ID-capable iPhone X or later; phone estimates may be wrong and should not replace an optician’s measurement for consequential eyewear orders.

Privacy & permissions

Face images and biometric-related measurements are sensitive; inspect capture/storage permissions.
