What does OCULAR mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medicaltechnical
Relating to the eyes or to eyesight; perceived directly through sight rather than described secondhand.
Ocular is the word doctors and opticians reach for when something concerns the eye itself, as in ocular pressure or ocular muscles, and lawyers use ocular proof for evidence a witness actually saw rather than heard about. The same root also produces a noun sense found in optics, where an ocular is the lens a person looks through at the near end of a telescope or microscope. Both branches of meaning trace back to the Latin word for eye, oculus.
