In German speaking countries the ophthalmologist, the optometrist, the master optician all are doing refractions and all issue a
recipe
(A recipe is a set of instructions that show how to prepare a culinary dish. It normally consists of four or five components: the name of the dish, the ingredients, preparation techniques and the number of servings. Recipe writers sometimes also list variations of the traditional dish.)
So they have been wrong forever. However you not make an Rx or prescription for a fish dish or a cake from scratch. Therefore I think that any optical professional can read a piece of paper that says OD or OS a few sign like - or + and can make some sense of it.
Just try to be pharmacist who probably studies half the time it takes him to learn the profession to learn everything about hand writings and how to decipher them.
I would not care how you want to call it as long as the numbers are right and the patient/customer can see properly through the end product and is happy how good he or she looks.
