I saw this article:
http://www.audioholics.com/news/editori ... our-health
And was wondering if this is really a potential cause for concern or not. I remember as a kid (don't know how old but likely around the age of 7 or older) I had a stereogram book that I loved to stare at. I didn't know that doing this was forcing a temporary lazy eye effect.
The article claims that 3DTV basically makes the eyes go into temporary lazy eye mode effortlessly (unlike starting at a stereogram). The concern is could spending a lot of time in-front of a 3DTV cause the eye to learn and begin to exhibit bad habits (such as lazy eye). The new TV I bought is 3D capable but I don't have any glasses nor do I expect to get any unless the price drops to around $50. I didn't buy the new TV for 3D. I bought it because it's a great 2D set for a really good price. 3D is just an added bonus and nice have.
Growing up I had exceptional vision in my left eye (20/16) and so so in my right (20/25ish). As I got older my vision has reduced and I wear glasses now with a slight prescription (both eyes are around 20/25-30 though the left is still sharper). I work in-front of a PC 8 hours a day and often experience blurred/stained eyes. I realize that these two things don't have much to do with lazy eye effects, but I am wondering if 3DTV will be one more thing that will cause eye fatigue in me. I've never noticed an issue when looking at them in stores but that was only for a few minutes or so.
