Dr. Chen You
For individuals with myopia of −6.00 diopters, the typical interpupillary distance (IPD) is approximately 58.3 mm. Myopia generally results from prolonged near work, leading to structural changes or damage in ocular tissues. If left unmanaged, it may potentially compress surrounding nerves and, in severe cases, lead to vision loss or blindness—thus, fundoscopic examination is recommended. Note that IPD may vary among adults.
