Italy’s Ministry of Health has ruled that 3D glasses used to watch stereoscopic movies should be limited to viewers age 6 and above. Also, an investigation has been opened into a decision from the Cinema Exhibitors’ Association from last year to allow 3D glasses to be used by viewers as young as 3 years old. Warnings will be added to the instruction packets for all 3D glasses sold for home use.

This is absolutely WRONG! Children of almost any age should be allowed to use 3D glasses. This is a wonderful vision screening device for those with uncorrected refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism), amblyopia (lazy eye, strabismus (eye turns) and other problems involving eye teaming. The key is for parents to ask about the child’s 3D viewing experience. If the child does not seem interested in 3D or complains of visual discomfort or headache, this is a key sign to have the the child examined by an optometrist!!!
