Eye doctor and/or lens prescription
Yep, Ltemes already answered the question.
See below from this Medical terminology site:
O.D.
A health care professional who is licensed to provide primary eye care services
OD -- (lens prescription): Abbreviation of "oculus dexter." Latin for "right eye." (The words "dexterity" and "dextrous" derive from "dexter" since the right hand is usually more skillful than the left.)
See slight difference in the way it's abbreviated.
