Hindsight is 20/20.
I love rephrasing that as “Looking at an ass is a full mark”
You see perfectly out your butt!
They obviously don’t wear glasses.
That’s also Dr. Glaucomflecken a semi-famous optometrist.
It took me a while to get the joke. I was just like, yeah that’s probably close to her prescription.
Ophthalmologist
I’m not sure what he can find to be optimistic about in this economy.
I think you’ve confused his job. The study of birds is a very interesting field of study.

I think you’ll find he’s a cancer specialist, actually.
No, you’re thinking of an ornithologist. An opthalmologist is someone who practices dark arts.
That’s an occultist.
An opthalmologist is an appointed official who investigates complaints by taxpayers against government departments.
You’re thinking of an ombudsman. An ophthalmologist is a grappling submission that uses your legs and hips to hyperextend an opponent’s shoulder joint.

He should have had his scribe write the joke
Knock knock, Hi. That’s internet famous to you, sir!
No such thing
Damn, it took me a while, haha 😂
Might depend on the material. I have -3.5dpt on both sides and my glasses have half the width and glare. Or are those some random units again?
I assumed he’d estimated it based on how distorted the face appears behind the glasses. I do that all the time.
At this angle it’s hard for me to do that, since I usually use the edges of the face to estimate it. negative glasses pull the line inwards, positive outwards. I can reliably tell when someone is wearing fake glasses (0 strength) for example, and probably estimate strength within 30% of the actual value.
If the image was higher res maybe I could estimate this case too. Or this professional optometrist is just a lot better at it than I am.
Strong negative glasses: (Note the faces contours in the glasses appearing well inside the faces contours around the glassed)
Fake glasses:
Positive glasses:
PS: Searching for generic terms yields 100% fake glasses, so I took a specific person I remember having strong glasses for myopia.
Just looked in the mirror… Checks out! :)
Thanks for the explanation. And yeah, on the op picture you can’t see any of that clearly, so he needs to have serious practice for that statement.
I’m sure Jonathan was able to provide the exact prescription at a glance.
This is so cool. Thank you for sharing how to do that.

This is a screenshot of a photo, but you can still see the left side offset if you zoom in. The original photo likely has much better quality to see it with.

Just love it thanks
It’s measuring in Imperial Corrective Units (ICU).
Let me guess… It counts how many visits to the ICU it took to get such bad eye sight?
Going for “I see you” with a plausible but bullshit unit name but yours works too. Maybe they keep getting into accidents and landing in the ICU because of poor eyesight.
Aaah… So ist not the original prescription, rather the hit count. Like snipers carve lines in their rifle.
Now it all comes together!
Bruh you leave my funny YouTube doctor alone!! 😡
Hi, Feddit admin here. I would like to apologize for B-TR3E’s behavior and have given them a temporary instance ban for their misbehavior not only here but on other comms as well.
Their misbehavior was brought to my attention and it was enough to take action since we expect our users to behave regardless of which instance they are on (at least when it comes to common courtesy).
Aw man I always miss the drama
The comment is still here tho
EDIT: And it’s the most downvoted comment I’ve seen on lemmy
And will probably remain as such until spez creates an account here.
Surely that was on purpose.
Diopter was my first reading too, and my account isn’t even “Dr. Glaucomflecken”.
Guy is a social media actor shorts comedian and is pretty based. So not only would he not say something like shitty that, he wouldn’t say it publicly. On yt he has 1.27m subscribers.

And also a real ophthalmologist, which seems relevant :-)
Him being an actual eye doctor makes his skits so, so much better.
My reading of it following the ethans point of view first. People are different. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So given Dr. Glaucomflecken is an opthalmologist, I’m at least 37.3% sure he meant her eyeglass prescription in diopters. Isn’t that right, Johnathan?
Take shitposts seriously and get into fights with strangers
The color coding of the scores is so completely fucked.
White? Or is it the background for the time left in the quarter you meant? The scores appear to be white on blue and white on black. Not sure why they did the WNBA logo to be on orange though. The shot clock being on red makes sense to me as it is the “imminent danger”. (Probably could just do black on white for it though)
Yes.
I’m putting on my needs context hat and standing next to the needs context sign.
Comment refers to the girl’s eyeglass prescription, not a ranking of her attractiveness.
Based on the distortion visible in her glasses, her prescription is approximately -1.00 to -1.50 diopters. Severely nearsighted prescriptions would cause the wearer to appear to have much smaller eyes; farsighted prescription would cause the eyes to appear larger.
The doctor is saying what her likely rx is, the responder i think assumes hes talking about her attractiveness out of 10, or is just being a snarky dick.
ethan is the weeb.
Ethan, wake up. u_u
she does look a lot like Paige from The Americans tho, i gemuinely thought it was her
My misogynistic brain: she’s not that bad looking.
