About Optigrid, an Innovative Company

In the optical industry for over 30 years, we recognized the need for an efficient system that could perform the Naso-Pupillary Distance measurement virtually while ensuring the same precision of manual pupilometers.

The systems and apps available in the market did not provide the security we were looking for, so we developed the Optigrid Virtual Pupilometer, a proprietary system that is highly efficient, accurate, and convenient.

Our focus was to offer more peace of mind to our clients by simplifying the measurement process, so our clients would not need to visit the optical store for measurements. The entire sales process—selecting glasses, payment, and measurements—could be carried out virtually, and best of all, without compromising on quality.

To ensure that our clients received precise service, we created an extremely attentive team that provides all support and training for our clients.

Thus was born Optigrid, a modern company committed to innovation, quality, and efficiency.

FAQ

What is Optigrid and how does it work?

Optigrid is an online platform that enables opticians, optometrists, eyewear retailers, and end consumers to measure key optical parameters—Pupillary Distance (PD), Dual PD, and Segment Height (SH)—simply by uploading a clear photograph. Using a reference object of known size (such as a credit card or eyeglass frame), Optigrid’s browser-based measurement tool calculates accurate distances on the photo. Results can be exported or sent directly to a lab for lens fabrication, streamlining the eyewear ordering process.

What are the benefits of using Optigrid for PD measurement?

Remote, Self-Service Convenience: Users can obtain precise PD measurements from home or in-clinic without specialized hardware.
Time Savings: Automates and accelerates the measurement process compared to manual in-person methods.
Accuracy: By leveraging a calibrated reference object and interactive markup, Optigrid achieves industry-standard accuracy (±1 mm when used correctly).
Workflow Integration: Seamlessly integrates with patient management systems (e.g., Shopify, Nuvemshop) to automatically attach measurements to customer orders.
Global Accessibility: Web-based interface works on any modern browser or mobile device, enabling international reach.

What is Dual PD and when should I use it?

Dual PD (monocular pupillary distances) refers to separate PD measurements for each eye (e.g., Left PD = 32 mm, Right PD = 33 mm). Use Dual PD when:
Asymmetrical Pupils: A single PD (interpupillary distance) does not account for slight left/right deviations.
High-Power Prescriptions: Precision is critical—especially for progressive or high-add lenses.
Custom Frames: When frame centers don’t align with facial midline.
Optigrid lets you mark each pupil individually; the system calculates precise monocular PD values for improved optical alignment.

What is Segment Height (SH) and how do I measure it?

Segment Height (SH) indicates the vertical distance from the bottom of the lens/frame to the point where the reading (near) portion of multifocal or progressive lenses begins. To measure SH in Optigrid:
Upload Full-Face Photo: Ensure the subject is looking straight ahead, wearing the intended frame or holding it in front.
Mark Reference & Frame: Calibrate with the reference object, then mark the bottom of the lens/frame and the center of the pupil or desired optical center.
Calculate SH: Optigrid computes SH based on pixel measurements, generating a precise millimeter value that can be relayed to the lens laboratory.

How accurate is Optigrid compared to in-clinic measurements?

When used with clear instructions (good lighting, proper head alignment, and a standard reference object), Optigrid’s web-based measurements have been shown to achieve accuracy within ±1 mm, matching or exceeding many manual PD rulers and handheld devices. Ongoing calibration checks and user guidance (e.g., zooming and panning in the canvas) help maintain consistency.

Which devices and browsers are compatible with Optigrid?

Optigrid is a responsive, web-based application built on modern web technologies. For best results:
Desktop: Latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
Tablet/Mobile: Chrome or Safari on iOS (iOS 14+) and Android (OS 9+).
Camera Quality: A smartphone camera (8 MP or higher) is recommended for precise measurements; however, any webcam that produces a clear, high-resolution image will work.
