Hi there!

O.D. could mean a lot of things in ophthalmology depending on what was being referred to.  A few of these include include oculus dexter (right eye), optical density, omne in die (once a day), Doctor of Optometry, overdose etc. If the reference does not fit into any of the ones mentioned, you may ask your nurse for clarification.

Take care!
