A sloppy OD’s shorthand for Base Out?
Our EHR makes us order prism UP, DN, IN, and OT when using vision web, I don't know who came up these standards, but obviously it's taught somewhere, So yes OT is Base Out
Though one reason might be for Drs. have really bad handwriting and you can't differentiate BO and BU, it would eliminate that confusion (but really this is a weak reason)

Thank you all guys...i was leaning the BO way myself. People seem to be inventing their own standards...weird.
Might mean out total, but BO is correct.
