How do I change my interpupillary distance in PSVR?

Unlike the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive, PlayStation VR doesn’t have a slider or a dial on it that lets you physically set the interpupillary distance (IPD) in your headset. Instead, PSVR has software that takes a picture of your face and lets you move crosshairs onto your eyes. The rest is all handled automatically. Unfortunately, this process isn’t quite exact, and it might take you quite a few tries to actually get it right.

Why worry about IPD? If it isn’t right, your image can be blurry, resulting in eye strain and headaches.

It works great and is much more precise than relying on the software.
