Is it ok to use your fingers to measure if your eyes are wide or close set?

Sure: But a ruler/measuring tape would be a lot more accurate.

No: Opticians have instruments to make this measurement. It determines the spacing for the optical centration of eyeglass lenses. You can't do this by looking at your fingers.
