Warby Parker measured the distance between my pupils by having me upload a picture of my face while holding a credit card. I had to upload 3 pictures because I was too close or at a bad angle twice. I'm not sure if they had an algorithm or if they actually had people looking at the photos.

The online PD measurements are apparently not very good. I found this many years ago and it worked quite well: http://www.daniellivingston.com/2012/06/measuring-your-own-p...

The glasses seem fine, but the process did make me feel like measuring my own PD would have been easier. I've done it before for Oculus prescription lenses.
