A member asked:
Recent pupillary distance was measured as 65; before it was always 63, as adult. does this reflect an underlying health issue?

Not to worry: Pupillary distance measurements are not very accurate, so it is unlikely that you have a problem. In the rare instance where you might have a cyst in the sinus or a tumor behind the eye, you would see an eye bulging or would have double vision.
