How to See 3-D -- It Takes Two Eyes to Tango!In order to view 3D stereo images (in the Spy Kids 3-D movie, 3-D posters, pictures, books, etc.) you must have two eyes that work together as a coordinated team. Two working eyes are definitely required! Check your equipment before continuing. Looking in the mirror to make sure you have two eyes and that they are both open is NOT an adequate inspection of your 3D viewing equipment. If you are having trouble seeing 3D, this might mean that you have problems with your binocular (two-eyed) vision or stereo vision (3D vision). Consider testing your own binocular vision with The Framing Game and The Eye Hop Game for starters. If you are having a really hard time seeing 3D movies, pictures, etc., have your vision checked by an optometrist who specifically tests binocular vision. You can locate a binocular specialist through Find a Doctor.
Even if it turns out that you do have a problem with your two-eyed vision, don't worry! According to Dr. Jeffrey Cooper, ""It is often asked at what age should treatment no longer be attempted [for amblyopia or strabismus]. The answer is, everyone deserves a chance! Age should not be a deterrent to treatment." If you're having problems seeing 3D, take the time to find out if a vision problem may be the cause. Binocular vision problems are more common than you might think. At least 12% of people have some type of problem with their binocular vision.
