Working Distance
​
We advise you to measure your working distance on a clinical bay.
For dental professionals, make sure your thighs are parallel to the floor and your feet are sat flat on the floor
Then make sure your are sitting with a comfortable posture, with a straight back and relaxed neck
​
When you are in the correct posture, measure from the corner of your eye to your surgical site and observe the distance on the measuring tape.
​
For dental professionals this will be to the patients lips.
For surgery, please measure to the general surgical site
Interpupillary Distance ​
After measuring your working distance, then ask someone to take a photo of you holding the camera at the same ​distance from you as your working distance
​
Hold a ruler touching your forehead at eye level making sure it is parallel to the floor and not bent - please ensure the increments of the ruler are visible in the photo
​
Use the flash as this is allows us to have pinpoint accuracy of the location of the centre of your pupil - take the photo at eye level
Please take 3 good photos and email them to lloyddentistryltd@gmail.com
