    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.

        I’m not sure how to interpret this since I don’t wear glasses. I can’t tell if your response was intended as a compliment, insult, joke, or something else entirely.

        Full disclosure, I’m on the spectrum so there is likely something that is going over my head. I can only hope that your comment was given with positive intentions and was intended to evoke positive feelings in the reader.

          It’s not that deep, just a reply with text from the post. There’s nothing to unpack.

            Thanks for the clarification. Given the context of how this comment thread has developed, I didn’t know what to expect.
