Please use the guide below to determine your working distance and inter-pupillary distance for Flip-Up and Custom loupes.
Pinpoint Accuracy |
Traditional companies require a fitting appointment to calculate your measurements, which increases the overall cost of loupes. We have worked with opticians to develop technology that allows you to take these measurements digitally, from the comfort of your own home, with a high degree of accuracy. Our 30 day trial period allows you to purchase your loupes with complete confidence.

This measurement is only required for Custom TTL Loupes and Custom TTL HD Loupes.
The inter-pupillary distance is defined as the distance between the centres of the pupils of your eyes.
Equipment required: camera, tape measure and a ruler
We use technology to digitally analyse your photos that calculates your inter-pupillary distance within 0.1mm.

Step 1
Hold a ruler above your eyes, making sure it is parallel with the floor and touching the centre of your forehead. Step 2
Ask a friend to take a photo of you at a distance away from your face that is your working distance (measured above). Use a tape measure whilst taking the photo to ensure this distance is correct. Ensure that:
Repeat this step twice more so that you have a total of 3 photos. |
Step 3
Send us your 3 photos using the form below. Alternatively you can send your photos via iMessage or WhatsApp to +44 7842 639815. We will then determine your inter-pupillary distance for you. |
