Not seeing 3D is a sign of vision problems

COVD offers the following tips on how you can see 3D:

1. If you don't see 3D immediately but up to 30 seconds later you can see the special effects, it is a sign of a vision problem.

2. If you can see 3d immediately, but afterwards you find you have a headache or your eyes hurt, your eyes may be working harder than they should and this is a definite sign of a vision problem.

3. If you can see 3d for the whole commercial and feel fine, you are not out of the woods completely. You could still have a vision problem. When you see a 3D movie, like Monsters vs. Aliens, pay attention to whether you have a headache or your eyes ache afterwards. If you have trouble seeing 3d for the whole movie or need to take visual breaks, once again all of these are signs of a vision problem and you should call your optometrist and ask if they test for binocular vision problems.
