| {{resize|130%|'''OD''' means '''right eye'''. '''''oculus dextrus'''''.}}
| |
| | |
| {{resize|130%|'''OS''' means '''left eye'''. '''''oculus sinister'''''.}}
| |
| | |

| ==But why do you use them??? Just use left eye right eye??? Why do you have to make everything complicated????==
| |
| If you have to write out 'left eye and right eye' every single time, that can become tedious especially when you're talking to cool vision improvement people who know what they're talking about.

| '{{xt|OD/OS}}' is five characters. '{{xt|left eye, right eye}}' is nineteen characters. Use the longer version if you insist :P
