why cant i see movies in 3D at the cinema: Explained

I can't see in 3D

 Are you the 1 out 10 people who have difficulty seeing movies at your local cinema in 3D?

Your Friends or Family watch and laugh in amazement at the movie as it pops out at them.

But from your eyes the movie seems to be in Double Vision.

I asked a neurologist if there were any tests we can do before going to see a film in 3D without wasting our money.

Turns out there is a test we all can do.

stretch your arm out as far as it can go and lift up one finger.

Close one eye and keep one eye open.

Then whilst looking change eyes from one to the other.

If your finger appears to move like my picture example then you have a condition known as Stereo Vision

One of your eyes is a lazy eye and doesn't process vision in time with your other eye resulting in the ability to only see Real D 3D in double vision.  I guess different people may have different levels of double vision that may appear to be weaker or strong.  In my case the double vision is strong and very hard on the head and made me feel woozy and light headed.

I would like small Cinemas to show Movies in 2D in respect of people like us by at least offering us a bit of respect and curtsey.

Last week i saw Final Destination 5 in Double vision and payed for a new pair of Real D 3D Glasses because i thought the ones i had were faulty.

And when i saw everybody else not complaining! i just forced myself to stay till the end.

When i see trailers for movies to come! i am thrilled to bits and looking forward to a movie until it says "In 3D" and then I lose grasp on the movie because i wont be able to see it.

Please add a Comment bellow if you also suffer with this problem.

Real life is in 3D 24/7 so why cant we just have pure vivid picture clarity and not dull dim double vision films.
