Avatar is enjoying its fifth week as a box office hit, and people are heading to movie theaters to experience the thrill of the 3-D action and adventure. Unfortunately, many will be miss out because they can’t see 3-D.
Research has shown that up to 56% of those 18 to 38 years of age have one or more problems with binocular vision and therefore could have difficulty seeing 3-D. In addition, about five percent of the population have amblyopia (lazy eye) and/or strabismus (eye turn) which makes 3-D viewing impossible.
But there is hope. Thanks to optometric vision therapy, thousands of people who previously could not see 3-D are enjoying every special effect Avatar has to offer.
