Experiencing discomfort watching 3D? Come to our 3D Vision Clinic!

Do you experience visual discomfort while viewing 3D entertainment? If so, you're not alone. With the recent spread of 3D entertainment and technology, an increasing number of Americans are complaining of visual discomfort when seeing in virtual 3D, including dizziness, seeing double, and general feelings of eyestrain. It has been estimated that as many as 25% of 3D viewers have experienced these symptoms. 

What causes 3D discomfort? It may stem from a problem with your visual system, which can be tested for and treated by eye doctors trained in optometry. The VPI has recently made plans to open a clinic specializing in the treatment of 3D visual discomfort in Beaverton, OR, in the summer of 2011. This clinic will feature some of the latest technologies in diagnosing and treating visual problems, as well as real-time measurements of eye movements and focusing during in-office 3D viewing. 

More posts will follow on our 3D clinic as we progress toward the anticipated opening date in early June!
