- My doctor tells me that I have a vision problem called stribismous
- (sp ?) which inhibits my ability to see certain 3 dimensional
- aspects of scenes. I don't really understand all of the nuances.
- I have noticed that when I went to Disney World in Florida, there was
- a 3D movie theater where you wore 3D glasses and supposedly were
- able to see a 2D movie in 3d. All I saw was a VERY blurry image
- that gave me a headache. I have 2 questions about this condition
- which my doctor was not able to answer.
-
- 1) What exactly can I expect to perceive differently than others?
- - 3D movies obviously that are rendered using the 3D glasses is
- one I know about.
- - What about virtual reality scenes where the 3D is generated by
- rapidly flipping between the left and right eye images?
- - What other problems should I expect?
-
- 2) supposedly this problem was caused by my eye doctor's placing
- a patch on my lazy eye for too long a period of time. Does this
- make sense? What did this do to me physically to cause
- this problem?
-
- Thanks
