Surely that was on purpose.
ethan is the weeb.
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.
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!
Great response, given that the alternative was to double down and take the lifelong commitment to the path of misogyny
i think he is referring to the strength of her prescription. a -1 or -1.5 diopter prescription is mild - i.e. her glasses aren’t strong enough for the person she offered them to. misogyny was not intended
woosh
What? I think you missed what he is saying like the reply to him. He was talking about her glasses not her looks. If he doubled down it would have just been him explaining what he meant and that would be that.
I’m assuming you are talking about Ethan but I’m not sure how misogyny or shitting on someone talking about glasses are the only 2 options?
Bruh you leave my funny YouTube doctor alone!! 😡
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.
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’ve confused his job. The study of fields is very interesting for birds.
I think you’ll find he’s a cancer specialist, actually.
It took me a while to get the joke. I was just like, yeah that’s probably close to her prescription.
He should have had his scribe write the joke
Damn, it took me a while, haha 😂
You might have phrased this a lot better by keeping your stupid mouth shut. Take that as general advice.
And you’re dying alone so what
My understanding is that the Dr. was referring to her glasses prescription, but the numbers he provided were misinterpreted as some sort of rating on her appearance (or perhaps basketball performance).
He didn’t intend to cause that confusion, which is why he acknowledged that his choice of wording was not ideal. I hope that clears things up.
You’re definitely a -1, maybe -1.5
Do you not understand the joke?
He could have phrased it better haha
Sir, I am well known to understand each and any joke. Immediately and at any time of night or day. If this is intended to be an insult to my intellectual capabilities, I demand satisfaction.
But you see, my good fellow, you’ve shown nary a bit of proof for this supposed intellect. How could I, an internet user of honor and integrity, accept such a duel when I know not if my actions will be akin to bullying a simpleton?
Just FYI, they’re indicating the glasses prescription in diopters. A -1.5 means minor correction to myopia by 1.5 diopters. Someone took the -1 and -1.5 as a hotness scale, but the guy is a sort of famous optometrist and was commenting on the lens correction factor, not hotness.
Wearing -6.5 and -6 myself as well as a cat on my shoulder that keeps waving it’s tail before my eyes and considering that it’s almost 3am here, you might excuse that the joke hit in here with some delay…
“I’m too tired to get the joke but I can still make an incredibly aggressive post attacking a stranger on the internet”
Maybe someone else should be keeping their mouth shut…
-6? Don’t be so hard on yourself
I’m sure the cat helps though.
I’m so confused, what? Are you joking or did you not get the joke in tbe meme?
Well, it took me a while…
fair to say you can see clearly now?
Ohhh fair enough haha, it’s not a super obvious one
I don’t think so. A little slow, occasionally, maybe.
Ohh man we got a hot one coming in!
