Detailed explanation-1: -OD means “right eye.” OD is the traditional abbreviation used for the right eye because it’s short for oculus dexter, which means “right eye” in Latin. Sometimes, doctors will just use “RE” or “right” for the right eye.

Detailed explanation-2: -o.d.-can mean “once daily” or “right eye".

Detailed explanation-3: -A ‘dual’ pupillary distance number is the distance in millimeters from each eye’s pupil to the center of your nose. A single PD will be just one number, while a dual PD will have a number for each eye, marked ‘right’ and ‘left’. (Some prescriptions may have ‘OD’ for the ‘right’ eye, and ‘OS’ for ‘left’ eye.)
