OU stands for which of the following?

In eye-care notation, OU stands for oculus uterque, meaning both eyes. This shorthand is used when a prescription or finding applies to both eyes, unlike abbreviations for a single eye. Right eye is typically OD (oculus dexter) and left eye is OS (oculus sinister), so OU specifically indicates a bilateral scope.
