I'll use this post / opportunity to ask the HN community

(I know this is a technically complicated, and potentially sensitive subject)

I've been approached by a few people who are trying to make prescription glasses less expensive. It's a mix of (licensed) opticians, people interested in offering community health services, etc.

What is the current state of the art for PD measurement based on face / pupil tracking / detection using laptop webcams or mobile (front) cameras?

I imagine (obviously?) that there must be scholar research on the acceptable error margins for a PD measurement (depending on the type of vision condition, i.e. farsightedness, etc.)?

Would using something like Handsfree or https://github.com/esimov/pigo (which has pupil detection) be a good start, or would these be an ~order of magnitude off in terms of the necessary margins?

Thanks a lot.
