Greetings!

With all of the news lately about 3D television and movies, the American Optometric Society's new website, www.3deyehealth.org is timely and meaningful. Please take a look and learn more about how 3D vision works, and how you can develop your own 3D vision.

Vision Therapy Develops 3D Sight
3d vision and eye health

"The vision demands of 3D are very specific and include precise eye-tracking and alignment along with balanced and clear focus at all times.  

 

For children and adults who experience any of the "Three Ds"-discomfort, dizziness or lack of depth-associated with 3D viewing, a doctor of optometry can prescribe treatments for patients that correct the problems that may be interfering with viewing 3D content.

 

In many cases it may be a simple refractive error or a misalignment of the eyes that may have otherwise gone undiagnosed. Correcting these conditions with glasses or contact lenses may also be helpful in better assuring visual health for 3D as well as other activities such as reading.

 

Optometric vision therapy, a sequence of therapeutic procedures individually prescribed and monitored by an optometrist to develop efficient visual skills and processing, may also be part of the treatment plan.

Overall, you can be assured that comprehensive optometric care will help re-educate the brain to achieve single, clear, comfortable, two-eyed vision that improves eye coordination, focusing and eye movement, ultimately enhancing the 3D viewing experience."

We need more volunteers, both optometrists and non-optometrist helpers. If you can help, please contact Dr. Nancy Ross.

 

As always, if you would like to learn more about 3D vision, eye health, vision and learning, or any other vision topic, drop us an email. We are also available for speaking engagements.
