Server instructions

OpticiansFriend is an educational optics site for opticians and students. These tools return published reference content and run the site's verified optics calculators. This is education, NOT medical advice. `compute` performs ophthalmic optics math (transposition, vertex, prism, tilt, etc.); call list_calculators first to see each calculator's inputs. Do not send personal health information.
