I live near an eye clinic with the hospital attached, and there is a booth outside which sells chocolates, cigarettes, beer and so on.
People in pyjamas - mostly men - run out to it to buy things. They are always in groups of three or four, and they have patches on their eyes. One day a group have patches on the left eyes; the next - on the right eyes. I have never seen a mixed group. The same at the pharmacy - there is usually a group of left or right patched patients. How do they do it? Do they put people with the same eye complaints (left or right eye) in the same rooms and they struck friendships there and go out in groups? Or do they operate one eye one day, and the other eye - another? It's so strange that they never mix, and all left eyes stick to the left eyes and right - to the right.

No we don't operate right eyes on monday and left eyes on a thursday ,because every patient is different some need a bilateral and some a unilateral treatment.I don't think that we "put" right eyes in one room and left eyes in an other-would make no sense-must be a coincidence

If a disease is noncontagious and if the people in the room do not have any factors that would make them immunocompromised then yes, in some instances people with like diagnoses are in the same room.
Are you sure that hospital doesn't have a psych ward...because that's a little...odd.
And left eye right eye there is really no difference. An eye is an eye, so they don't discriminate by doing all the left eyes one day and all the right eyes the next.
It could also be possible the hospital is doing a clinical trial. Maybe they are testing out new things and these men are the test subjects.
You never know. But the booth with the cigarettes and beer...next to a hospital...come on! That's crazy.

I think its an amazing co-incidence.
Hospitals keep each TYPE of illness together, obviously. (Burns / heart operation / lung operations / etc) but not to the extent you describe.

That doesn't even make sense to me. I think it is coincidence or you are reading a lot more into it that is really happening.

yeah the same would be together, but it should not matter about which eye..
