Okay, so he's an ophthalmologist, and he's talking about what her potential prescription for her glasses might be.

It is easily misread as a misogynist measurement of her beauty, and he recognizes that and acknowledges it. It wasn't what he meant. Hence, the meme.

No shit? It's hard to believe it's read as not an eye joke because it has no indication of any eye connection. Look at this post, how is anyone not familiar with this guy to know that?

That makes you all the assholes here honestly. Mic drop.

Oh rather. Let.s all canvass the comments before commenting, because we are such cunts. Good advice.

I'd never heard of this guy either. But I read all the way to the bottom and deduced from the last comment that his previous comment meant something other than the woman's appearance. It requires using intelligence.
