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.

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.

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.

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).

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?
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.
social media actor shorts comedian
And also a real ophthalmologist, which seems relevant :-)

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.
