What do people do usually when they shadow an OD? do you just stand around and see how he does an eye exam on a patient? wouldn't the patient mind getting another spectator in the examination room?

You usually just sit in the exam room and observe a couple eye exams. Sometimes the OD will sort of include you in the exam by explaining what he/she is doing, other times you just sit there quietly while they do their thing. Just follow their lead.
Patients generally don't mind having someone observe -- the doctor always asks their permission first. No one ever refused during all the times I observed.
