OD stands for which eye?

In eye-care shorthand, OD denotes the right eye, coming from Oculus Dexter in Latin. This notation is used on prescriptions and charts to specify the right eye’s measurements or corrections. The left eye is OS (Oculus Sinister), and both eyes together are OU (Oculus Uterque). So the right ear isn’t part of this notation, which is why the correct answer is the right eye.
