OD Symbol - Optometrist Caduceus Logo Explained #3502185 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white vector image displays the caduceus, a traditional medical symbol, modified with the bold capital letters “O” and “D” positioned on either side of the staff’s base. Though historically associated with Hermes and commerce, the caduceus is widely (though inaccurately) adopted in U.S. healthcare-including optometry-as a symbol of healing and vision care. The inclusion of “OD” explicitly identifies the practitioner as a Doctor of Optometry.

This image is commonly used on optometry clinic websites, professional association materials, licensing documents, and educational resources to denote optometric practice. It serves users seeking eye care services or verifying professional credentials, aligning with intent to identify qualified eye health providers.
