This bothers me so much

I had to go back to the eye clinic to grab a pupilary distance measurement.

Took all of 20 seconds to get a measurement, but when the optician wrote down the numbers... She wrote the left eye measurement on the right side, and the right eye measurement on the left side.

*twitch*

I’m going to go buy a bag of skittles and sort them by color so I feel better.

Here’s an absolute beaut I spotted for your time

Edit: kinja moving around and inserting random letters is at the top of my “most annoying bugs” list.

I’ve never seen it written as two separate numbers before, tho

When I look at medical imaging (CT, MR, xray, US, Nucs, PET, whatever), the standard display protocol is that the patient is facing you. The patient’s right is on your left and the patient’s left is on your right when you look at the study.

I’m not an optician but the way she wrote it looks correct to my eyes (ha!). But I otherwise commiserate with your OCD.

I’ve not seen it written as two numbers either. ( I just read your explanation to Brian )

It’s to account for eyes that are different distances away from the center of the nose, where the frame rests. If the PD is written as a single number either the eyes are equidistant from the bridge of the nose, or more likely the slight increase in accuracy provided by separate right and left measurements is deemed unnecessarily precise.

Ha! Makes perfect sense.

*turns paper around and reads it from behind to ease OCD*

(and yeah, when you see a single number it generally means they just added your left and right values together. )

Your alignment is a little out of spec.

Right eye is always first because it’s od and os they  just translated to normal person for you. So even though it is cringe worthy it is technically (the best kind of) correct.

Funnily enough my vision is so bad that I’m constantly overworking my eyes.

I have long-range issues on my right eye, and short range issues on my left eye. I’m getting my glasses on Friday.

Your right is her left. She wrote them from left to right from her perspective !

When I was a survey instrument man and I had to give line a lot, I used to swap left and right, because when you look through the telescope and, for example, you want the guy to go three tenths of a foot to your right, you have to yell “Left three tenths!” - from his point of view what’s on your right is on his left. But I got so used to doing that all day long, that when, for example, I was riding in a car and I wanted the driver to take a left turn I’d say “Right at the light. No wait, left, I mean left,” and people would say “What, don’t you know right from left?”

Also, if you’re going to molly- coddle your OCD by sorting cand i es by color, sorting Skittles makes too much sense, as different color ed Skittles taste different. Whereas if you sort M&Ms by color, that’s pure, uncut OCD there, as taste-wise there is no difference whatsoever between different colors of those.
