This is not the first time we heard 3D being so widely use in the field of medicine but this is quite new to hear about 3D helping the eyesight. We are all aware of the on going, never ending debate of how 3D brings potential viewing risks.
Let’s change that game for a while.
Good3dtv.com, on Sunday, told us a story about a university professor named Bruce Bridgeman who thru 3D had the chance to to savor stereo vision in far greater degree than anytime before in his life!
What is even better is that Bridgeman claims some of the stereo effect he experienced in the theater remained with him even more than a year after had had watched the film. The world around is has that ‘jumping out’ effect he had first experienced while watching the 3D film. Bridgeman, himself a professo of Psychology however lamets it is almost impossible to prove scintifically how h got back his norml vivison after watching the films though he recommends those suffering from a similar sight disorder to try watching a 3D film to see if things change for the better. For Bridgeman, it was a flat world around him and could not see a single object with both his eyes simultaneously.
“Certainly immersion in a 3-D movie could, if somebody had a marginal vision system, could absolutely improve it,” said Paul Harris, associate professor at the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee. He however added he won’t prescribe watching a 3D movie to anyone with eyesight alignment problem.
