OFD stands for Oral Facial Digital Syndrome, which is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the development of the mouth, face, fingers, and toes. It is not related to any military, government, science, medicine, business, or finance terms. OFD can also refer to the occipitofrontal diameter, which is a fetal biometric measurement. In ophthalmology, OFD can mean the assumption that light rays coming from a point of a distance beyond 20 ft (6.1 m) are practically parallel. OFD Type IV is a subtype of OFD that is characterized by short stature, preaxial and postaxial polydactyly of hands and feet, and other symptoms. Finally, OFD can also stand for "over compulsive flirting disorder" or "Old Farts Disease" in slang terms.
