"Lately it seems like there are more 3D movies than ever before. 3D televisions are also gaining popularity, and Nintendo just came out with a 3D gaming system that doesn&amp;#039;t require you to wear any special glasses. This all sounds great, but I was curious to know what this expanding technology might be doing to our eyes. Turns out the American Optometric Association has looked into this, and fortunately it appears that there&amp;#039;s not much reason to be concerned. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s no evidence that watching 3D movies or TV damages your eyes,&amp;quot; says James Sheedy, OD, PhD, of the Vision Performance Institute at Pacific University. &amp;quot;The problem is that some people will not experience the 3D sensation or they&amp;#039;ll have some symptoms like eye strain or blurred/double vision while viewing them.&amp;quot; If you have any of these symptoms while viewing a 3D\u2014and about 25 percent of people do\u2014it could mean that you have a vision problem you don&amp;#039;t even know about. For example, one eye might be seeing more clearly than the other or your eyes might not be aligning properly, says Dr. Sheedy. His advice: Visit your eye doctor and get it checked out. \u2014Barbara Brody, Health Editor "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
