EyeMeasure Reviews

Maybe I’m not as smart as other reviewers but I couldn’t get this to give me any results.

There are no instructions, no prompts, no error or tip messages, and nothing on their website. NOTHING. I’m using an iPad. Does it matter whether it’s in portrait or landscape orientation? I don’t know. What is the best location for the light source? No idea. Was there enough light when I used it? You got me! How many times does it need to scan your face? I wish I knew. How sensitive is it to movement? No clue. It seemed to scan my face over and over and that was all.

I guess if it works for you it’s supremely user friendly but for me it was user hostile. I realize this is “free” and a lot of effort went into developing this but it would have been nice if a little more effort was expended to explain how it works. Something, anything that would help me use this properly.

First, the complaint that many share: Why are there no instructions? As many others have stated, EyeMeasure scanned my face continuously without displaying anything at all. After heading to the reviews hoping to find some hint of how to operate an app with NO buttons other than a useless contact page, I quickly realized that the developers promised instructions many times and never included them. The easiest fix is to include the instructions in EyeMeasure description on EyeMeasure Store. Please, take five minutes out of your day and update EyeMeasure description to help all of us who are confused and irritated. The silliest response I saw was that the instructions were sacrificed to make the layout simplistic. Seriously? Omitting basic instructions for the sake of aesthetic is ridiculous. I won’t use this service. There are better, more accurate alternatives... that include instructions.

Please include some kind of instructions. When I opened EyeMeasure , white lines started scanning my face. I sat for awhile but no results. I put my glasses on and got a measurement that went from my pupil to the bottom of my glasses, but no option for results like those in the sample photo. I searched the comments and notes for any clue as to what I was doing wrong. Finally, it just magically worked. I ended up holding my phone at arms length from my face, so maybe that was the issue?
I’m not sure how accurate this would be for glasses, as the measurements quite a bit. I’m using it to measure IPD for VR, and at least that only varied by +- .2

EyeMeasure works pretty well producing consistent PD results when used multiple times in various conditions. However SH part is not as accurate and needs some improvement. The results I got for SH varied in range of 10mm. I tried it many times with my glasses on but only half the times it gave me the SH results and I don’t know what’s I did wrong. EyeMeasure is easy to use, But a link to a webpage with instructions would still be helpful. Also it would be nice to have an option to send results via email.

Seems easy to use (on iPhone 13) but the lack of instructions makes you wonder if you are using it right.

I found that if looking at the photo I get one PD and if looking across the street I get another. So I think it is important to look through your phone at arms length to focus on a distant object so you record your far PD. I then I gradually bring the phone closer and look at it, which appears to narrow down my near PD.

The segment height works well as long as your frames do not cast shadows. It does not work for my tinted lens frames I want to get new progressives in.

The other downside is that it does not give mono PD for each eye.

This is a solid and useful app. It caused some frustration initially when it didn’t seem to work, only displaying the camera image. A restart of my iPhone fixed that, but this seems like an opportunity for some error handling to catch this and make appropriate suggestions. Reading the reviews, it seems like others have run into similar issues.

Outside of that, this works very well and has a great cool factor.

Works well and accurately. However, keep in mind it doesn’t work well in the dark.

Question for the developer! I don’t see mention of the VR measurement in the results. Can this get a bit of explanation?

Have you considered adding a button to save the results to the photo roll (with some of the ads)?

Thanks for helping in a pinch! Wanted to order my glasses online and thanks to the pandemic I’m not comfortable going out if I don’t have too. Was able to get accurate measurements thanks to this wonderful app.

It is so intuitive, so easy to use, and most importantly, accurate! (Checked with ophthalmologist). One suggestion for next update: adding a feature to read monocular pupillary distance. Right now, EyeMeasure only offers binocular pupillary distance, which is only helpful if PD is equidistant for both eyes.

This is the best app I’ve found for measuring your IPD for adjusting VR headsets. My only question is why doesn’t it look like the pics in the store listing? No heat map or share exists in EyeMeasure , unless I’m missing something but it’s very simple with no controls like that. Doesn’t really affect using to though. Really handy app, and free!

My optometrist wouldn’t give me my PD without purchasing their frames and EyeMeasure saved the day. Super easy to use only note that it starts scanning immediately. This is the kind of actually useful app I’d have paid to use.

I used EyeMeasure to order some new glasses. After a while I was worried EyeMeasure was not correct so I went into my eye doctor and got my PD taken. The results were EXACTLY THE SAME AS EyeMeasure!! I was shocked and found that pretty cool!! Excellent app as long as you use it the way you are supposed to.

This thing works great! This has been the best app to get for people that need to know the measurements!!! Some of these doctors are hard to hassle with and won’t tell you unless you buy their products

Highly recommend this to everyone

This is the best app out there for measuring your PD for a glasses prescription. The numbers are as accurate as other apps that require you to hold a credit card to your face and the process literally takes under a second to give you your numbers. Well done, Dotty!

EyeMeasure worked immediately. I didnt have to find a magnetic strip card or hold anything up to my face (have in the past with other apps).

I very rarely write app reviews but I was cleaning apps in my phone and wanted to report before deleting it (job is done). It was great. So pleasant as I had to do no work at all.

10/5 stars hands down

I was really amazed at the numbers EyeMeasure came up with. I just had my eyes checked yesterday and EyeMeasure almost matched the numbers my Optometrist gave me. If you round to the nearest whole number they would be exact. Since my OD used whole numbers, I would say EyeMeasure is more accurate. Wow Dotty you did great creating EyeMeasure. Congratulations on a job well done.

I just ordered new glasses and got my pd’s from my optician and your software measured the same and that is wonderful. However, for those of us wearing progressive lens, we need monocular pd’s as each distance is not always the same. I have a new iphone 11Pro and I can’t find out how to clear the software in order to redo the pd measurements. Was very excited to share and demonstrate with a couple of friends, but can’t clear the screen.

This was already handy, and now with the update, it’s perfect. I don’t have to worry as much about how my phone is positioned. I can move my head around, and the values stay pretty much the same. I can’t personally attest the accuracy, but I’ve heard it’s pretty close. I use this to set my IPD in VR, and it’s much easier than trying to measure myself or going to the eye doctor. I love also that it shows both bear and far IPD. Kudos to the developers!

Why do people need instructions for something that is so self evident? The negative reviews regarding lack of instructions are ridiculous. EyeMeasure only does 2 things and it does them very well. Anyone having a problem is holding their device too close to their face or is using it in low light. It does require some patience but overall it’s extremely easy to use.

EyeMeasure takes seconds out of your day to measure your IPD. I needed to know this measurement for my Oculus Rift S VR headset in order to see the screen properly and I had no idea how to measure it or anything. Virtual Reality Oasis, YouTuber, recommended EyeMeasure to measure it and it worked great. One recommendation I would have is that it started scanning right away, I wasn’t sure if I was at the right distance or not so I just kept moving my head not knowing if it was helping. I would appreciate some kind of information to be told to the user saying I am doing it right or not. Even a “Perfect! Just stand there and smile!” would be nice and humorous. Awesome work though!

Bro you NEED to have instructions in EyeMeasure. Worked well but I had no idea what to do when I opened EyeMeasure. You need to give clear instructions for the user on what they need to do, especially if they know nothing about PD and stuff. If I had to look onto the Reviews for clues on what to do, thats bad. Please improve that.

Edit: I figured it out, and have tried measuring multiple times to ensure I get the same measurement consistently. Thanks to the devs for reaching out!

Tried this on three separate occasions and got different measurements each time.

EyeMeasure works pretty well producing consistent PD results when used multiple times in various conditions. However SH part is not as accurate and needs some improvement. The results I got for SH varied in range of 10mm. I tried it many times with my glasses on but only half the times it gave me the SH results and I don’t know what’s I did wrong. EyeMeasure is easy to use, But a link to a webpage with instructions would still be helpful. Also it would be nice to have an option to send results via email.

Really nice and useful app. Wish there were some instructions though. You just start EyeMeasure and you have to guess what the squiggly lines mean. Maybe a quick guide, like how far to hold the phone, where to look...

If you focus on an object close say your phone screen you’ll get a lower number. If you look over your phone you’ll get a bigger number. I changed it by as much as .5. No idea if that’s significant.

Cool app though.

I was a bit confused at first but customer service is excellent! Answers were always prompt and clear. App is great and easy to use with my iPhone XR. Became very useful as eye doctors and their staff nowadays refuse to help with PD unless you buy products from them.

I never review stuff but I had to for this. Gave me what I needed immediately which was great. My only question is should I be using the near or far PD when ordering prescription glasses? Amazing work!

I have an iPhone X. The only thing that happens when I open EyeMeasure is I see white lines moving over my face. Sat there for five minutes and nothing happened.

After spending over an hour trying to get this app to work I googled and found this site. Just like many others I could not get it to work! It took me several attempts to even get the Results displayed at bottom screen only to get NOTHING but a blank, white screen. Pretty fed up given how much time I spent trying to get it to work. It is worthless!
